A graveyard was started on land given by Captain John Nicholson in 1828. A wooden chapel was opened and dedicated on 10th January, 1830, by Archdeacon (later Bishop) Broughton.
The first Minister was Rev. Thomas Hassall, the “Galloping Parson”.
The wooden chapel soon proved insufficient and it was proposed that the new church … be built on the same piece of ground as the present Church stands.
Edmund Blacket (a famous architect and designer) was consulted and he provided plans for the current church which was completed and dedicated by Bishop Frederick Barker on 29th August, 1861.
The church gates, originally from the Governor’s country residence, Hillside, Sutton Forest, were donated in 1959 in memory of NSW Governors who attended this church.
