History
St John's Anglican Church was dedicated on 18 November 1911 by Venerable Henry Le Fanu, the Archdeacon of Toowoomba. It was beside Cannon Creek and was 25 by 14 feet (7.6 by 4.3 m), capable of seating 35 people (there were six or seven Anglican families in the district). The chancel was 9 by 7 feet (2.7 by 2.1 m). The land was donated by John Saville and other local people donated building materials and volunteered their labour.[3] The church was at 691 Cannon Creek Road (28°04′42″S 152°43′54″E / 28.0783°S 152.7318°E).[4] It closed circa 1952.[5] In 1976, the church was relocated to the Templin Historical Village.[6][7]
