St Mary's Anglican Church is a heritage-listed churchyard at 433, 447 & 449 Main Street, Kangaroo Point, Queensland, Australia.
[1] The Church of St Mary's, Kangaroo Point was built in 1873 by Alfred Grant to a design by diocesan architect Richard G Suter.
[1] The cornerstone of the present church was laid on 30 April 1872 by the Queensland Governor George Phipps, 2nd Marquess of Normanby in the presence of the Anglican Bishop of Brisbane Edward Tufnell.
[2] The church was officially opened and dedicated to St Mary the Virgin on Wednesday 5 November 1873 by Bishop Tufnell.
[1] Stone structures on the northern external aspect of the chancel indicate that the building is incomplete and a vestry or bell tower may have been intended for that site.
[1] Following the death in 1926 of former rector and World War I army chaplain, the Reverend William Maitland Woods, a bell tower (separate to the church building) was erected to his memory.
St Mary's is a Gothic style church built on a prominent riverside site above the Kangaroo Point quarries.
[1] In the interior, the nave is unlined, and timber trusses, resting on small masonry pillars, support the roof.
Cruciform in shape with a proscenium stage, it has a gabled corrugated iron roof surmounted by a central ventilation lantern.
St Mary's Anglican Church contains the oldest pipe organ in Queensland and the religious art of Godfrey Rivers.
[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.
