| Other location information |
The first building, St. George’s Church Hall was erected on the corner of Niven Crescent and Lang St on land donated by Annie Niven c.1931 and the adjacent block bought by the Church c.1935. It was a weatherboard-asbestos building with an iron roof. This unlined building was dedicated by Archdeacon C L Riley on 14 April 1937 and was used as the place of worship for Anglicans until 1964. It was also used as a meeting place for community groups. The need for a larger building was recognised and plans were drawn up by Architects Ean McDonald & Whitaker. Local builder Charles Dallimore won the contract.
The Foundation Stone of the Church of the Holy Apostles was laid on 20 July 1963 by Canon Jaquet who had served Carnamah from 1928 to 1930 while based at Three Springs. The Church was consecrated on 7 March 1964 by Archbishop Appleton.
A feature of the building is the Church Bell Tower in memory of C W Dring and his mother. The Church Hall that had been moved to the back of the blocks continued to be used for community groups until it was demolished to make way for the transportable rectory purchased from the Mingenew Parish c.1974. |
