Church foundation stone 18 Jan 1847 by Mrs Frederick Bayne, built using water-worn stones from nearby Fourth Creek on land given by John Finlay Duff, consecrated 30 Jan 1848, extended 1883, extended 1959 with the removal of 1883 chancel & vestries. Hall foundation stone 2 Jul 1881. Lych gate, designed by F Kenneth Milne, dedicated 20 Apr 1952.
“the foundation stone was laid of an Episcopal Church, to be called St. George's, in the village of Woodforde, adjoining Macgill. The site is well selected, being the north western corner acre of preliminary section No. 342, which has been kindly presented for the purpose by Captain Duff. . . The foundation stone was laid by the lady of Frederick Bayne, Esq. The building is intended to accommodate two hundred persons at first. The funds for its erection have been furnished, we understand, entirely by private subscriptions.” [Register 20 Jan 1847]
“St. George's — Woodford. Near Makgill. This Church will be opened for Divine Service on Sunday the 30th day of January, instant, at 11o'clock in the forenoon, when the Lord Bishop of Adelaide will consecrate it. All persons interested therein, are invited to attend. Fred. Bayne, T. B. Penfold, Church wardens.” [Register 22 Jan 1848 advert]
“St George’s Church, Magill. . . The consecration took place on January 30, 1848, the foundation stone having been laid on January 18, 1847, by Mrs. F. Bayne. The structure is an interesting specimen of Kentish masonry work, being built almost entirely of pebbles taken from the creek running through Stradbroke Park.” [Register 19 Jan 1924]
“St. George's Church, in the hamlet of Woodforde, near Makgill, was opened and consecrated by his Lordship the Bishop of Adelaide, assisted by the Reverend Archdeacon Hale, Rev the Colonial Chaplain, and the Rev. Mr Wilson. . . A collection was made at the conclusion of the services, which amounted to the sum of £26 10s, the largest, we believe, that has been made at the opening of any country Church.” [Register 2 Feb 1848]
“This Church, which was the first consecrated in South Australia, has lately been renovated and materially improved. A new chancel, with vestry and organ chamber, has been built. . . The chancel is tiled with a handsome pattern of Campbell's tiles, and the old segmental arch which spanned the chancel has given place to a graceful Gothic arch. The old ceiling originally carried across the body of the Church on collar beams has been removed, and matchboarding carried right up to the ridge; thus improving the internal effect. . . The bulk of the cost of these improvements has been defrayed by Mr. Swann. The architects were Messrs. R. B. Lucas & Co.” [Register 16 Nov 1883]
“lych gate at the entrance to St. George's Church of England, Magill, has been erected as a general memorial to members of the Penfold and Penfold Hyland families now dead. Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold was one of the first trustees of St. George's Church about 100 years ago, since when his family have been members and supporters of the church. Dr. Penfold was the son of the Rev. William Penfold, vicar of Steyning, Sussex, and the lych gate . . . resembles one outside the church at Steyning.” [Advertiser 2 Apr 1952]
