St Werburgh’s Chapel is located on a farm close to the Western Australian town of Mount Barker. The chapel was built on the property of George Egerton-Warburton and was consecrated in 1874. The building was made of local materials and is in the Gothic Revival style, featuring a pointed arch entrance and a bell tower with a spire.
