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]

In 1859 Rev. Glennie obtained a grant of two acres of land on the corner of Cunningham and Drayton Streets to establish a church, a school and a parsonage. In 1866 the first church was designed by architect W.C. Wakeling and was partially built; it was a small brick building with an iron roof. However, its foundations were inadequate and cracks appeared in the building, so it was decided to replace it. The second church a rectangular timber building with a shingle roof, designed by architect Willoughby Powell; it was opened in 1876.^[2]

In 1922, a third church was designed by architect Harry Marks, a member of the prominent family of architects in Toowoomba and the foundation stone laid. The building was completed in 1923 and it was not consecrated until 1935.^[2]

Description
