A picture worthy stop at a historic church

Christ Church Warleigh, is a tiny church perched on a hill above the Castlereagh Reservoir, a short drive from Camellia Hills. The Anglican church was built in 1878 by British planters (for British planters), and its stone exterior exhibits a typical, colonial style church.

The well-preserved interiors are cosy, with worn timber pews, and a trio of 19th century-stained glass windows are beautifully positioned above a carved wooden altar. Along with an ancient pipe organ that is still in working condition, the church’s most prized possession is their 140-year-old Bible that is still intact.

The church is set within a lush garden beneath towering cypress trees, and its graveyard offers an interesting insight into the history of the country.

The church still conducts English services at 8:00am on every first, third and fifth Sundays of the month. If you’d like to attend, please inquire with a butler.
