Comments
The former St Savour's Anglican Church, Katrine is in the Parish of Northam in the Diocese of Perth. The church no longer conducts regular worship services at this location, due to structural issues with the building. The land on which the church building was erected was donated by Simeon Viveash in 1861. The church building was consecrated by the Rev Mathew Hale, the first Bishop of Perth in 1862. No other details are known about the former church. The small graveyard adjoining the church contains the graves of many of the district pioneers and their decendants. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 12/11/2018.
