Comments
The former St Martin In The Field Anglican Church, Kensington was in the Parish of Kensington and the Diocese of Perth. The present church building was erected/opened in 1953/4, and held its final service in March 2020, following which it was deconsecrated. The church hall was opened on 4/5/1933 by the Archbishop of Perth and named Durbridge Hall, after the benefactor of the church, Margaret Durbridge. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 20/1/2022.
