A plaque inside the garage of Mr Clive Gleadell (standing at the right of the photograph on the right) and Mrs Linda Gleadell, at 11 Rennison Street, Beaumaris, records its use as the first venue for the newly constituted Anglican church in Beaumaris, which was within the Parish of St. Matthew's, Cheltenham, until the present Parish of St. Michael and All Angels', Beaumaris, was established in March 1959.  The entrance to the garage from Rennison Street was very different then from the situation now. 
   
The first service held in the garage was at 2:15 p.m. on 16th September 1951. One or more services have been held in Beaumaris in every week since then. The last service in the garage was on the third Sunday in Advent, 14th December 1952. The garage is pictured in a local newspaper article reporting the 50th Anniversary of the first service.

Both the first and the last, and all but seven of the 68 services held in the garage before the church moved to its present site at 28-32 Dalgetty Road (between Martin and Bodley Streets, Beaumaris), were conducted by the Rev. Robert Dann, who was Vicar until 11th November 1956, and later became Archbishop of Melbourne.
