Turville, Cottesloe builder, on land donated by Hardey descendants Richard and Robert Hardey. The foundation stone was laid in 1904. The inscription reads "Laid to the Glory of God in memory of John and Joseph Hardey, pioneers of Methodism in this state." First service was on March 5 1905.

It is now in a ^. jrtyard at Wesley College, South Perth. Marchant James p 54. The Reverend WR Lang was minister in 1924-27.
