3. St Andrews Anglican Church

The first church services in the area were held in the woolshed on Fordwich Estate. By 1864, the population had grown, so a little school and a ‘neat little edifice, built of wood’ was constructed in the village. Unfortunately, the white ants loved the wooden church as much as the local kids loved their Sunday School treats, so a new St Andrews was built in 1889 out of local bricks and concrete to deter further white ant visitations!
