150th Anniversary of All Saints Church Print Page
The tablet commemorates the 150th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone.
The church was built on land left in the will of the Reverend Samuel Marsden, who also bequeathed 200 pounds for the erection of the building. The building was designed by James Houison and was started in in 1846 and completed in 1847. The church was consecrated by Bishop Broughton of Sydney on January 27th, 1848.
As it was too small for the congregation, it was extended in 1862, and the steeple was added.
