Wesley Bluestone Church, Service St
Recently fully restored.
Fund raising to build a Wesleyan stone church began in 1862 and two years later sufficient funds were available to build the front section. The architect was J A Doane and on the first day of 1864 Rev J S Waugh laid the foundation stone. In 1870 it was decided to enlarge the church to be able to seat a congregation of 900. This work was completed the following year. The church is currently part of Wesley campus and is used for student activities.
Wesley Bluestone Church has been restored to its 19th century glory and its organ re-installed. A must to see.
