We loved this church with its beautiful bell tower and the gravesite alongside. Well worth a visit

We had planned to attend the Christmas Eve service, but fell asleep! We did, however, decided to attend the New Years Eve service and are we glad that we did. A great way to see in the New Year. There were significantly fewer people there on New Years Eve - (about 20 of us) so we were able to pause,... More

Lovely little chapel. The Melanesian carvings on the pews are unique.

Each of the slates on the adjoining bell tower had a commemorative inscription on it, presumably to mark the passing of a parishioner. This was a nice touch. As... More
