History
On February 13, 1860. John Harvey, carpenter, St. John’s, was engaged to build the framework of the Church. Consecration of the Church and Graveyard was on June 18, 1861. One of the most interesting aspects of the Old Church is its style of architecture and the natural wood, which has never been painted. Sir Edgar Bowring donated the stained glass window and oak reredos in 1923.
