Let’s go back in time. All Saints Chapel is a little older than you think. It was built in 1869, replacing an older church from 1862. The oldest Anglican church in Brisbane, you can almost feel history seep through the sandstone of the walls. All Saints Chapel is a prominent landmark in Brisbane, nestled on Wickham Terrace, known for its historical significance. The Gothic Revival style is truly charming. One of its most impressive features is the unique hammer-beam roof, a very rare sight in Australia. And did you know that All Saints Chapel has one of only three Lewis Organs in Australia? It was built in London and brought all the way here in 1873. It’s a beautiful example of the craftsmanship of days gone by. But there’s more to it than that. The chapel holds countless stories within its walls, including those of prominent figures from the past: Sir James Dickson and Sir Robert Ramsey McKenzie were among some of the influential figures who have worshipped here. The interior of the church is just as impressive as the outside. The stained glass windows are the oldest in Queensland, and the sculpted artwork by Daphne Mayo, a well-known sculptor from the Depression era, adds to the artfulness of the space. The church is a heritage-listed building, well-preserved to honour its important role in the history of Queensland. Today, All Saints Chapel remains a lively place of worship with several scheduled services throughout the week. It is also open to visitors, with the chance to get an informal tour of the grounds and interior. You can even step just inside for a glimpse of the history that surrounds you.
