History and Architecture:
In 1857 the local committee representing the Church of England acquired an acre of land in Glenferrie Road (the northern half of this site is occupied by the parish hall), and built a school room, which in 1858 was licensed for Church services. The priest in charge was the Reverend Henry Liddiard, who also had charge of the district of Oakleigh. The first recorded meeting of the Malvern Church Committee is dated 10 July 1861. Because the land to the south of the school block had been reserved for a police barracks, the Committee in 1865 bought a piece of land to the north-about one and a half acres-for 67.13s.
The foundation stone of the church was laid on 30 November 1865 by Sir William Stawell, Chief Justice of the Colony.
