This church building in Gilbert Plains, in the Municipality of Gilbert Plains, was built in 1905 by E. H. Pilgrim using concrete blocks made by local maker Walter Walker. At the time of a 2016 site visit, it was used on alternate weekends by the congregations of St. Matthews Anglican Church and Guardian Angels Roman Catholic Church.
