History and Architecture:
In 1893 Anglican services in Exeter were held in the Badgerys home, 'Vine Lodge'. With the support of the early pioneering families including the Badgerys, the Yarwoods and the Yates, St Aidans was soon built and opened for worship in July 1895, being dedicated on 11th January, 1896.
The walls are built chiefly of rough trimmed local basalt, mainly from Indigo Creek at the bottom of School Lane. The arches, door and window surrounds are of sandstone from Bundanoon.
