The foundation stone was laid in 1878, but due to lack of funds to complete the building it wasn't finished until 1883. The original design by Andrea Stombuco included a tower and spire but due to increasing costs, they were never built. The church also houses an organ shipped from London in 1885. We didn't go inside as church members were rehearsing for the evenings church service. Here are some of my shots from our short walk around the church:

What a beautiful church this is Liz. Whenever I see something like this, I am always in awe of just what it must have taken to build it. Simply magnificent!
