St Anne's Church
In 1870 a group of local people decided that a church was needed in the district. Donations for the project were accepted, but it was not until 1885 that the church was built.
The 'Soap Stone' used in the building was taken from a nearby paddock. This stone was soft before being quarried, which allowed it to be sawn into shape. It gradually hardened on exposure to air. This building was used as a church and school for many years, as well as being the venue for board meetings, dances and other social events.
It has been suggested that the church was named St Anne's after Ann Nairn, Walter Padbury's sister and Mrs Drummond's mother. The Padbury and Drummond families were some of the first settlers in the area.
