History and Architecture:
For several years prior to 1859 Wesleyan Methodist services were held at the company's local cattle station. Land for the church was donated by Mr J Monfries and the church was built of stone carted from Kenton Valley. It was officially opened in 1860.
A Manse was erected in 1887 and the Vestry was added in 1897 while the front porch was installed in 1910. The Memorial hall at the rear was constructed in 1923.
