St Phillips , Culham , Western Australia - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

In 1849 Bishop Augustus Short, the first Bishop of Adelaide, visited his brother-in-law SP Phillips at Culham and recognised the need for a church. Phillips donated 12 acres of land and started a building fund. In 1850, the timber was cut and by 1852 George Henry Hasell had constructed the stone walls and the building was roofed with flat sheets of iron.
The first service was held in April 1853, despite the church building not being completed. The Phillips family departed for England and the church fell into disrepair. When the Phillips' returned, work was resumed and the church opened on 19 July 1857.
St Phillip's was consecrated in September 1895 by Right Reverend GOL Riley, the first Archbishop of Perth
The church is the second oldest active Anglican church in Western Australia
Services are held on the 5th Sunday of the month at 0830
