St Werburgh’s Chapel is reputed to be the only surviving church in Western Australia originally built on private property by the landowner (WA Heritage Council). The landowner was George Edward Egerton-Warburton (1819-1889) and was a prominent settler in the Mt Barker district. The chapel was consecrated on 21 June 1874 by Bishop Hale of Perth. Dawn Crabb provides a detailed history of George Edward Egerton-Warburton and the Egerton-Warburton family.
