Statement of Significance

The Anglican Church has high social and historic significance for its association with religion in the town. Further, it is a fine example of the Rural Gothic style.

Physical Description

The Anglican Church is a small timber framed building with corrugated iron clad walls and roof. It has a steeply pitched gable roof. The church features pointed arched windows with small coloured glass panes and an entry door similarly arched in the same manner as the windows. The entry porch has a slightly projecting gable over timber panelled doors. The walls are painted cream while the roof and timber framing is painted grey. There are air vents to the roof. A timber cross decorates the roof at the nave apex and a finial decorates the porch roof at the apex.

History

Anglican services were conducted in Yalgoo as early as 1895 by the Rector of Geraldton and were continued until 1908, when Yalgoo became part of the Mt Magnet-Yalgoo parish. From 1916 to 1922 Geraldton was again responsible, but in 1922 Yalgoo formed part of the new Mullewa parish. In May 1912 E.C. Bartlett of Geraldton commenced work on constructing the church building on a site opposite the Miners' Institute. (Geraldton Express, 15/5/1912) The Anglican Church was officially opened and dedicated by Bishop Riley on 14 August, 1912. The Geraldton Guardian reported: "The asbestos lining is an innovation which is sure to find many followers, as giving the maximum of heat and coolness, and readily lending itself to decoration." (22/8/1912, pi) The Shire undertook minor restoration works on the building cl985 and since 1990 Anglican and Uniting church services have been held there. (Lorna Morrissey)
