Historical information

St Stephen's Anglican Church is a heritage-listed Anglican church on Stirling Terrace, Toodyay, Western Australia. The church was one of the earliest significant public buildings constructed in the town then named Newcastle.
It was built by George Henry Hasell, assisted by stonemason Esau Wetherall and a shingle splitter with the surname MacKnoe. On 9 May 1862 Matthew Hale, in his role as Lord Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Perth, consecrated the church and it opened for services.
No date given for the photograph, but must be before the Hall was built in 1962, and possibly before the Sanctuary was added to the rear of the Church in 1948. (It appears there are still shingles in place on the roof; these were replaced in the mid 1940s.)
