History
The Reverend Benjamin Glennie had a plan to establish the (then) Church of England on the Darling Downs through four churches in the larger towns named after the four apostles: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.[1]
The first church on the site was established by the Reverend Benjamin Glennie in 1857. In 1892 John Hingeston Buckeridge (the architect of the diocese) was instructed to design a new church, which was constructed in 1895.[2]
Description
The church has a sandstone base and bluestone walls and was to be built in the shape of a crucifix (but the original design was not fully completed).[2]
