The graveyard around the church is believed to have been established in 1863 supplanting the previous custom of burial close to the homestead.

Another son, William, became the Rector of All Saints Parramatta, while Ralph and St George Gore travelled to the Darling Downs in 1841 with sheep purchased from the Macarthurs.

They established a run at Grasstree Creek, later known as Yandilla, and were joined soon after by brothers, Robert and St John and their wives.

[1] The family were devout Anglicans and had a paternalistic sense of responsibility towards the welfare of their workers, there being a considerable number of people living on Yandilla apart from the Gores.

At the time, Yandilla was part of a parish which extended in theory from the Hawkesbury River to Cape York Peninsula.

[1] The present church was built in 1878, during the management of William Gore's eldest son Francis, who ran the property from 1866 until his death in 1904 and who was deeply involved in local and pastoral affairs, serving on a wide range of boards and committees.

During this period large sections of pastoral runs were resumed for selection and this increased settlement in the area, some selectors having previously been station employees.

The work was undertaken by local carpenter and Yandilla storekeeper John Baillie, who is thought to have also built the courthouse and St Augustine's church at Leyburn.

On this day Madame Blumenthal, formerly Leonie Gore, and a major shareholder in Yandilla, presented 3 stained glass windows to the church.

[1] Although the congregation dwindled due to a decline in the industry and the building of other churches in the area, a new spire and belfry were erected and a bell was imported from America.

[1] The congregation declined over the years and in 1919 a fire destroyed the Yandilla station office taking with it the records pertaining to the church and cemetery.

Around c. 1968 the main Toowoomba to Goondiwindi road (now the Gore Highway) was relocated to pass close to the church between it and the homestead site.

In 1988 a cairn was unveiled in memory of the Gore family as a bicentennial project by the Tummaville branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association.

[1] Located on the road between Toowoomba to Millmerran, All Saints church is highly visible in a flat landscape.

The roof is steeply pitched, clad with corrugated iron and topped by a louvred belfry and slender spire at the western end.

The stained glass windows in memory of Reverend William Gore are above the altar and depict Christ the King.

[1] All Saints Anglican Church and cemetery Yandilla was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.

Yandilla, established in 1841 by the Gores, an important pioneer pastoral family on the Darling Downs, had a "village" complete with a school and church.

The church, its memorials and the graves of family, employees and early selectors which surround it are now the only visible evidence of this settlement.

All Saints is a good and early example of a church and accompanying graveyard, an arrangement common in Europe, but much less so in Queensland.

[1] The place has a special association with the life or work of a particular person, group or organisation of importance in Queensland's history.
