Despite its name, the heritage listed Marracoonda Baptist Church is located in the far south-eastern corner of Westwood, in the Shire of Woodanilling, on the Great Southern Highway. It straddles the border to the Shire of Katanning and Marracoonda. Also located on the Woodanilling side of the border, it is on the heritage register for both shires, Katanning and Woodanilling, and dates back to 1903.[7][8]
