History and Architecture:
A meeting was held at Yarra Flats Hotel on Saturday 10 July 1886 to discuss the building of an Episcopalian Church at Yarra Flats. John Sayle (1820-1901) chaired the meeting and a committee was formed of local residents. A block of land at the corner of Armstrong Grove and the Old Healesville Road (Melba Highway) was donated by Mr. John S. Woolcott, a Melbourne solicitor.
