All Saints Anglican Church, Yandilla, Anglican church in Yandilla, Queensland, Australia.
All Saints Anglican Church in Yandilla is a timber building with Gothic architectural features, including a steeply pitched roof, louvered belfry, and carefully made stained glass windows. The structure sits along Gore Highway with an adjacent cemetery holding about 95 burial sites spanning from 1864 to 1982.
The Gore family built the structure in 1878, replacing an earlier church from 1863 that had served the growing farming community on the Darling Downs plateau. This replacement reflected the expanding settlement's need for a more substantial building.
The church combines European building traditions with an adjacent cemetery, a less typical arrangement in Queensland's church designs. This pairing reflects how the community integrated sacred spaces with its connection to the past.
The building is easy to locate along Gore Highway and makes a convenient stop for travelers moving through the region. Visitors can walk through the adjacent cemetery to read the gravestones and learn about the area's settlement history.
The three stained glass windows in the chancel were made in England at a cost of £600 and given on 15 November 1887 by Madame Blumenthal, formerly Leonie Gore, in memory of her uncle Reverend William Gore. She attached conditions: the church had to be consecrated by the Church of England and all burials conducted by an Anglican minister.
