Physical Description
Situated on land given by William Edwards, the building was constructed from bricks made at the river. It originally had a brick floor and shingle roof and cost 115 pounds. Originally a Harper Fence surrounded the church- not it's a cyclone fence. The church was restored after the 1943 cyclone and several times since.
Not enough photographic evidence for this place to make an architectural assessment.
History
St Paul's Church was built opposite a small trading centre of three of four buildings. The carpet at the altar is of unique design (quoted by Perth Historians) and is from England. The first marriage recorded in the Anglican Register took place on 5th June 1859. Johnathon Bowron, shepherd from Speldhurst married Susanna McGovern of Speldhurst at the Upper Church/Beverley. Two of the Colonial Secretary Peter Broun's children were married thee in 1962 and 1873.
