Henley Brook - All Saints Church
And here is the church. This is the All Saints Church, Henley Brook, and is the oldest church in Western Australia. The first church service was held in this building on 10th January 1841 and in those days this was in the Diocese of Adelaide. At this site, Governor Stirling camped whilst exploring the Swan River in 1827. July 2011
