Richard Bourke, Governor of New South Wales from 1831 to 1837, made a grant of five acres of land to the Anglican Community in Melbourne in 1837. This undue favouritism towards the Anglicans by the Governor was criticised from many corners. The land was bound by Collin Street, Bourke Street and William Street and Little Colin Street was passing through the middle of it.
A wooden structure which could accommodate around 90 people was built at the location and was opened by Rev J.B. Naylor in 1837. Apart from being an Anglican Church, the church building served as a school during the day and was also lent to the Presbyterians for their divine service on Sunday afternoons. It was here at the Church land; John Batman kept his sheep and paid a rent of £30 towards the costs. The first baptism at the church was for Gilbert, a child of a blacksmith employed by John Falkner, one of the founders of Melbourne.
