The book: "Holy Trinity Anglican Church Doncaster Victoria - “The Church that stood among the orchards” compiled by Eric Ubergang and Mary Plumb 1997" references St Phillip’s Deep Creek (East Doncaster) Anglican Church:
St Phillip’s Deep Creek (East Doncaster).In 1906 a group of orchardists felt the need for a local church. They gathered a meeting together on the 24th September, 1906 along with the vicar of Holy Trinity Doncaster, Rev. A.R. Raymond. The residents of Deep Creek met at Mr Peter-Budge’s home on 24 September 1906 to form a committee with the desire of erecting a church wherein Divine Service and Sunday school could be held .The next meeting was held on 1 October 1906. Mr Speers’ tender of 77 pounds was accepted - the date of completion to be 4 November 1906. The contract was signed by Committee members AR Raymond, J Pump, H Pump, H Uebergang, L Peter-Budge, G. Schafter and C Aumann. The land on Andewrsons Creek Road was given by Mr H Pump and a church was built in 5 weeks at a cost of 100 pounds, 13 shillings ($201.13)
The church was a simple rectangular building with a high pitched roof and a small entrance porch at the front. The walls are constructed of timber weatherboards the roof of corrugated iron roof
The book at back I think referenced another book - “St Phillips Deep Creek 1906-1980” - compiled by members of the Ladies Guild.
