Comments
The St Mary's Anglican Church, Beverley is part of the Parish of Beverley-Brookton and the Diocese of Perth. The church was erected to serve the growing Beverley population, after its linking by train to Perth. After the Nave portion of the church was completed, it was consecrated by Bishop Parry on 30/11/1892. The Chancel and Vestry were added in 1904. In 1914 a tower was added, but proved too heavy for the foundations and was removed in 1926. The Lych Gate was a War Commemoration and dedicated on Remembrance Day 11/11/1956. The original exterior brickwork was rendered in August/September 1972 to prevent deterioration due to moisture. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 5/6/2022.
