St Mark's Church of England
Just up the rise from the Bush Inn is St Mark's Church of England which looks over the Meander River. The first Anglican church in the town was a wooden building completed in 1847. The present building was designed by Henry Clayton and opened in 1859. It was originally no more than a small chancel, the impressive tower, the nave and spire. The year after completion an organ, which is still in use, was imported from London; in 1878 the chancel and transept were consecrated; and in 1909, to celebrate the church's Golden Jubilee, a stained glass window was added. In front of St Mark's is a huge Californian redwood.
