A weaver named Moses Bendle Garlick (c. 1784–1859)[2] following his participation in the Peninsular War against Napoleon (Napoleon I, Emperor of the French) a part in the Napoleonic Wars, he returned to England to find that machine-made cloth had taken over the market, displacing the hand-loom products[3] and so he made the decision to migrated with his family to South Australia in 1837 on the ship Katherine Stewart Forbes.

His eldest son, the architect Daniel Garlick, opened a practice in nearby Gawler.

Moses was a devout Baptist and lay preacher, and donated to the Church an acre of land[5] where in 1851 he built the Uley Chapel at a cost of £400.

Uleybury is located to the northeast of the Elizabeth conurbation, just north of One Tree Hill.

It now offers tours, old time school lessons and various other events and includes information, photographs and memorabilia of past students.
