Comments

The first Dalton Unting Church building, a slab structure, was opened in 1854, on land donated by Stephen Robinson. By 1857 it had become too small, and the present church building was erected and opened on 29/8/1860, by the Chairman of the District, the Rev Benjamin Chapman1. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 29/3/2021.
