Description

A neo-Gothic bluestone church built in 1858 which underwent major restoration works in 2018-19. Significant modifications were made to the interior of the church while preserving its traditional character. The externals of the church were also restored in a major way with a new slate roof, cleaning and repointing of all stonework, and cleaning and repairing of all stained glass windows. The environment surrounding the church has also been sympathetically addressed including the complete restoration of the three other heritage buildings on the site: the Caretaker's Cottage, the Manse and the School House.

Children's Activities

Children find the church really interesting and are most welcome. There will be play activities available in the Children's Area within the church and there is a garden all around.
