Name: All Saints Anglican Church and Hall Marburg [QU-05-0111] Category: Church Location: 111 Queen Street Marburg RPD: Lot 1 RP 51100 Listing boundary: Whole of allotment Other listings: Nil Significance level: Local History: Church of England services were first held in Marburg in 1889, using the Marburg School of Arts. In 1891, Thomas Lorimer Smith of Woodlands donated two acres of land for a church, a site which is now near the intersection of Seminary Road and the Warrego Highway. Smith also donated timber for construction of the church. On May 1 1891, the tender of Mr William Henry Luder was accepted for construction of the church building. The church, named All Saints, was opened on July 5 1891 and was consecrated by the Bishop of Brisbane, Rev William Webber. The church wardens were T.L. Smith and F.A. Muller. Eighteen months later, on December 1 1891, Rev Webber returned to consecrate the burial ground. From 1901 to 1908, All Saints was under the control of the North Ipswich Parish of St Thomas, and from 1909, under the control of the Parish of Rosewood. In the 1940s, the congregation considered moving into the township of Marburg; in 1956, a site was bought and in 1959, a church hall was erected. The question of whether to move the church was finally decided by the Queensland Main Roads Department. In 1977, a four-lane highway was planned to by-pass Marburg. Part of the All Saints land was resumed and the last service was held "on the hill" on May 22, 1977. The church was then moved into the township of Marburg, next to the hall. The burial ground remains on the hilltop.
