History
In 1842 a timber church was constructed on the site. In 1855 the bluestone church, designed by Charles Laing, was built to replace the original church.[2] The churchyard, which adjoins the church, has its earliest surviving gravestone from 1846 and the cemetery contains approximately 150 burials.[2]
