"Built circa 1911 the All Saints Church celebrated its centenary last year and is considered the most beautiful of the 4 small Anglican Churches in the Orara Valley. Nestled amongst liquid ambar trees, the church was built from local timbers hauled to the site by bullock dray and still reflects the craftsmanship of 100 years ago. The building has solid timber walls and high-pitched timber ceilings, exposed timber trusses, arched doors and leadlight windows. The building is Heritage listed and can be developed into a dwelling, permissible under the provisions of Clause 18(7)(e) of the Coffs Harbour LEP 2000 (info on request).

The 'Title' photo is taken from beside the local fire brigade building on Dairyville Road, and is looking at the rear of the church. At that stage I thought it might have still been a functioning church. But on going around the corner to the front and entrance of the church found that it was being (at 2015) prepared for sale.

I would rate it 4.5 stars.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1911
