Statement of Significance

Historic_ St Peter's Church was built in 1886 with the combined help of the settlers of the area. Some donated bricks, some roofing iron and work was done by working bees. The building was also used as a school room until classes were shifted to Broome Hill in 1893. The cairn was built by AW Burridge, foreman of the Broome Hill Roads Board and was unveiled by Mr HAA tylor, who was born on the opposite side of the road.

An effort was made to move the church into Broome Hill, brick by brick, but WWII intervened and the plan was abadoned as impractical.

Social- served as a school for the settler's children at Eticup.
