About Charles Harper (minister)
- Charles Harper (1799 – 1872) was Toodyay's first Anglican minister, and the first ordinand from Western Australia.
- While being a minister of the church was probably far from his intentions when he set sail for the Swan River Colony in 1837, his family's clerical background and his own disposition suited him well for this vocation.
- Harper served the Toodyay district for over 30 years, first as registrar of births, deaths and marriages, then from 1849 as an ordained minister.
