[1] On 4 February 1847 William Mobbs donated zero hectares (one acre) of land for an Anglican church bounded on the north by Marsden Road.

The land was conveyed to Reverend George Edward Weaver Turner, then the incumbent of St. Anne's Church at Ryde.

The whole of the chancel fittings and communion service were provided by a few friends of the incumbent (Rev Turner), through the kindness and zeal of Mr. Acton Sillitoe, who, on hearing that there was a lack of means to bring the building to a state of completion, collected in a few days upwards of 35 ponds".

It is highly creditable to the Trustees that, unlike most of our newly erected churches, this building is entirely debt free".

[1]The masonry work was carried out by Richard Marshall, who quarried and dressed the stone on his own property near Jenkins Road, Carlingford.

However, services continued through kerosene lighting of the church; gaslight in 1916; the World War I; the influenza epidemic in 1919 when meetings were at first prohibited then allowed when conducted in the open air with the congregation wearing masks.
