History and Architecture:

The Church was constructed of local red brick at a cost of £1400 donated by local pastoralists. The church was designed by architect J. H. Eales directly behind the original church built in 1894. The bricks used in the construction were locally made from pindan clay by the contractor, Sidney Stansmore. The foundation stone at St George’s Anglican Church was laid on the 7th of July, 1907. This stone was laid by the wife of Carnarvon’s first magistrate C.D. Foss.
