Comments
The church was built on the site of the early Maryvale homestead. Further information on the homestead is set out in a display in front of the church door.
After the breakup of the Maryvale Station in 1908, the Maryvale Homestead was used for a number of community purposes, including church services.
The Anglican Church purchased the land in 1921and built St Alban's Church in 1925.
More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uoploaded 10/10/2017.
