HERITAGE STUDY
“All Saints Church and Rectory are of local historical, social, spiritual and aesthetic significance…Aesthetically, the church is a relatively intact example of a rural Victorian-era church”
“Tatura’s first purpose built Anglican Church was a small timber building opened on 24 April, 1881. By September 1886, fundraising activities were underway to construct a new brick church. The new church, All Saints, was opened on Christmas Day, 1887, to honour the jubilee of Queen Victoria; it was dedicated on 25 December the following year. The works were overseen by Mr Charles Grover, the total cost of the new building being £352/11/2. The bricks were made locally by Messrs Earnshaw and Lockwood, while the church bell was the former fire bell from ‘Dhurringile Station’. The rectory was constructed in 1903 to replace an early timber building on 18 acres which had been acquired in 1888. In 1914 the former Baptist church was relocated to the site to serve as a church hall. A new brick church hall built to replace this was dedicated on 15 April, 1961.”
