点评:The foundation stone was laid on 15th February, 1865 by Mrs. Dugald McPherson - the church opened on the 22nd July, 1866. Historically three wives of grazing pioneers for the area donated three of the windows inside the church- Mrs. Dugald Mc Pherson ( no surprise there- she laid the stone :) ), Mrs John Edols and Mrs Peter Inglis.
The church is part of the local heritage walk. It has street parking available. The Presbyterian Church was mentioned in the article as one of many Victorian Churches that had received stained glass windows by Ferguson & Urie. Who were they? They were Colonial Victoria’s famous stained glass company, “Ferguson & Urie” left its artistic mark in Australian history between 1853-1899.
The church is quite attractive and it is still used according to the sign at the front which indicated in recent times they had carols here for Christmas. There is an unused building at the rear that I believe would have housed the church minister at one time.
翻译:1865 年 2 月 15 日,杜格尔德·麦克弗森夫人 (Mrs. Dugald McPherson) 奠基,教堂于 1866 年 7 月 22 日开放。历史上,该地区的三位放牧拓荒者的妻子捐赠了教堂内的三扇窗户——杜格尔德·麦克弗森夫人 (Mrs. Dugald McPherson)(毫不奇怪——她奠定了石头:)),约翰·埃多尔斯夫人和彼得·英格利斯夫人。
该教堂是当地遗产步行道的一部分。酒店设有街边停车位。文章中提到长老会教堂是众多接受弗格森和尤里设计的彩色玻璃窗的维多利亚教堂之一。他们是谁?他们是维多利亚殖民地著名的彩色玻璃公司,“Ferguson & Urie”在 1853 年至 1899 年间在澳大利亚历史上留下了艺术印记。
这座教堂相当吸引人,根据前面的标志,它仍然在使用,表明最近他们在这里唱圣诞颂歌。后面有一栋未使用的建筑,我相信它曾经是教堂牧师的住所。
