AddressTongarra Road, Albion ParkDescriptionIn 1874, the Anglican Church Committee decided to build a new church, and Rev J.H. Rowsell secured the site on land given by John Allen, on the western side of the newly built Catholic Church. Mrs Rowsell laid the foundation stone in the north east corner in 1874.

The architect was Mr E Blacket of Sydney; builder was Mr Schadel; quarried stone came from Yellow Rock, at a cost of £971.

The church was opened by Rev Frederic Barker, D.D, Anglican Bishop of Sydney on 8 December 1875 in the presence of 800 people. The cemetery was laid out in the grounds of All Saints Anglican Church. Reputedly under the ‘foundation stone’ was placed a glass bottle containing a copy of The Australian Churchman, Illawarra Mercury, and an inscribed scroll.
