The St Margaret's Anglican Church, Croydon is part of the Southern Gulf - Nothern Region Ministry Unit (including St Michael's, Georgetown: St Peter's, Normanton: St Augustine's, Forsayth: St James & St John, Karumba)and the Diocese of North Queensland. Ther church building is shared with the Catholic and Uniting Church communities. The first St Margaret's was a wooden building dedicated by Bishop Barlow on 30/11/1896, and was considered one of the finest buildings in Croydon. It was destroyed in a cyclone on 17/1/1942. The present church building is the replacement. [Sourced from: https://nqheritage.jcu.edu.au/296/]. It was built about 1990. No other details are known.
