Glennie Memorial

At the corner of Cambooya St stands a cairn marking where the first St Matthew’s Anglican Church stood. There is also an open space surrounded by abundant mature trees that provide natural shade and a pleasant environment for community use.

History

Rev. Benjamin Glennie had a parsonage in the block just north of this spot in which he took services until the church you see in the photo was built in 1859. By 1885 this church was too small for the congregation, so the present church was built.
