Appraisal
This church, built in different phases, was established by the Palatines, German Anglicans, in the early nineteenth century. The tower, with decorative sandstone crenellations, is a later addition and forms the focal point of the structure. Arti stic interest is provided by the sandstone dressings and carved Y-tracery. The interior remains substantially intact, which maintains the original character of the church. The graveyard, boundary walls and piers enhance the composition of the si te.
Most likely James and Margaret were cousins.
