Sarah Lindsay Evans (née Angas; November 13, 1816 – June 6, 1898) was a 19th-century English-born South Australian pioneer and an activist in the country's temperance movement.
Soon, she became so opposed to the use and manufacture of alcoholic beverages that, after her husband’s death, she had the vineyards of the estate —which had produced the notable Evandale wines— uprooted, and the huge wine cellar converted into a temperance meeting-place.
No sooner was the township of Keyneton surveyed and laid out in allotments, than Evans bought the whole of them, and in the centre of four crossroads leading to Angaston, Sedan, Truro, and Eden Valley, erected a large temperance hotel costing £1,500.
