A former Anglican priest aged in his 80s will fight five historical sex offence charges at a trial in Perth later this year.

A former Anglican priest charged with five sex offences, including one dating back to 1963, will face trial in Perth.

Raymond Sydney Cheek was 83 last November when he pleaded not guilty to four charges, including two counts of indecent dealings with a child under 14.

Police say the abuse took place while he was a priest at a town in WA's South West region in 1985.

Perth Magistrates Court was told on Tuesday that a fifth charge, committing indecent practices between males in public, had since been laid against the former priest.

The court heard the offending occurred in 1963 at a town in the state's Great Southern region.

The matter was adjourned until July 12.
