Comments

The St Cyprian's Anglican Church, North Adelaide is in the Parish of North Adelaide and the Diocese of Adelaide. The land for the church building was purchased in 1872, but the first part of the building was not erected/opened until 11/2/1883. The cost of the building was supported by Christ Church Anglican Church, and until 1890, the church was served by the clergy and lay readers from Christ Church. After this time the loss of worshippers from Christ Church to the newly completed St Peter's Cathedral, caused the church to be handed over to the Anglican Church's mission society. In 1898, it was rededicated as St Cyprian's, as part of a campaign of naming mission churches after early Anglo Saxon or Celtic saints to illustrate the early English origins of the Church. An extenison to the church building was dedicated on 19/3/1911. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 15/2/2022.
