St Mary's Anglican Church, Mount Morgan, Anglican church in Mount Morgan, Australia

St Mary's Anglican Church stands at 11 Gordon Street with a red brick exterior, octagonal apse, and corrugated iron roof in Mount Morgan's central area. The property includes the main church building, a vestry, and a hall used today for worship services and community events.

James Wesley Hall, the first manager of Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company and later town mayor, funded the building's construction in 1888. The church's founding was directly tied to the gold mining boom that brought prosperity and growth to the settlement.

The church was first opened as St Luke's on 14 October 1888, wrecked by a gale that December, and reopened under its present name on 8 September 1889 by Bishop William Webber of Brisbane. Bishop Nathaniel Dawes, first Bishop of Rockhampton, consecrated it on 5 October 1899, when the rector was Reverend H.T. Hainsselin.

The church is easy to find in central Mount Morgan and continues to hold regular services where visitors can observe community worship. You can view the buildings and grounds freely, though it is respectful to check with locals about visiting times or any special events.

The small timber belltower beside the church is thought to survive from Mount Morgan's first Church of England, a wood and iron building that stood on the site of the present church hall. The 1902 hall replaced that earlier church.
