History

Newtown State School opened on 1 July 1882. In 1915 the school was moved to a new location and renamed Silkstone State School.[3][4][5]

In December 1895 the Anglican Diocese's architect John Buckeridge called for tenders to erect the Church of All Saints in Bundanba (as Bundamba was then known)[6] on land donated by Miss Ferrett and Mr Harry Ferrett. Bishop William Webber laid the foundation stone on Friday 24 January 1896.[7] Bishop Webber opened and dedicated the new church on Saturday 16 May 1896.[8][9] In April 1897 Harry Ferrett was married in the church.[10] In 1913 the church building was moved by rolling it on beer barrels to Silkstone. In 1930 it was moved again on a flat-top lorry to its current location in Booval.[11] A new church hall for All Saints' Anglican Church was opened in Booval on Sunday 10 May 1930.[12] The second All Saints' Anglican Church was dedicated in Booval in 1983.[13]

In 1912, a Baptist Church opened in Silkstone on the main Blackstone-Ipswich Road (now 169 Blackstone Road, Script error: No such module "Coordinates".).[14][15] Tenders to erect the church were called for in May 1912.[16] The stump-capping ceremony took place on Saturday 2 August 1912.[17] The church opened on Saturday 30 November 1912.[18] In August 1928 tenders were called to erect a new brick church building.[19] The foundation stone was laid on Saturday 3 November 1928.[20] The new church was erected to the east of the existing church and officially opened on Saturday 2 March 1929.[14][21][22][23][24] Modern brick front facades were added to both buildings sometime after the 1950s.[25]
