Download coordinates as: Maryvale is a rural town and locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.
[1] Maryvale is on the Darling Downs on the Cunningham Highway, 127 kilometres (79 mi) south west of the state capital, Brisbane.
[12] On Monday 8 September 1924 the Reverend William Powning Glover placed the first stump into position for the construction of an Anglican Church on the site of the original Maryvale homestead built by Arnold Weinholt.
It was considered an appropriate location as Canon Glennie, the first Anglican priest on the Darling Downs, had conducted services at the homestead.
[13][14] On Sunday 22 February Archbishop Gerald Sharp opened and dedicated St Alban's Anglican Church.
The church was built on 8 acres (3.2 ha) of ground and the architect was John Shedden Adam of Sydney, the brother-in-law of Reverend Glover.
