History and Architecture:
This is the second Anglican church to be built in the Tumby Bay District Council. The Mortlocks at "Yalluna" station felt a church was needed in Tumby Bay and donated land for the purpose. Mrs. W.I. Mortlock laid the foundation stone and the family are best remembered for the stained glass windows and Manchurian oak furniture. The Mortlocks demanded a quixotic peppercorn rent which was to be paid each year in the form of a single red rose.
The Architect has been given to W. K. Mallyon, a hobby architect who designed approximately 30 churches in the mid-north and including this church, three on the Eyre Peninsula.
