By 1888 the fellowship had 11 members and 90 adherents. A Manse was opened early in 1898. In 1923, the Rosewood Church celebrated their Jubilee by erecting the distinctive bell tower, which is still a prominent landmark in the main street.
The original church and Sunday School buildings were sold for removal, and became the Masonic Hall in William Street. The new Church building opened in 1954 and the present hall in 1963. (Summarised from church website. For full story see https://rosewood-haigsleauc.org.au/church-history/).
