This screen was erected to the glory of God and in memory of William Shakespeare Hall from funds provided by old friends and pioneers of the Roebourne district. He arrived in the district with the first exploring party in 1861–62. Returning in 1863 he founded Andover Station, the first station in the district on behalf of John Wellard. He served on the Roebourne church vestry almost continuously from the foundation of the parish in 1879 to his death in 1895.
