Thomas Reibey of nearby Entally  at various times archdeacon of Launceston, state politician & premier, started building this church in 1868 but stopped after a couple of years. And it sat like this for most of the next century — just walls. It was finally completed and opened in 1961.

On this side, just the top rows of the wall are the lighter stonework.
