An historic plaque records: St Laurence's Church of England ~ 1921 - In the early years, Anglican services in Kandos were held under a tree or in a tent, later in private houses, business premises, and the Angus Memorial Hall. - With great pride the Anglican community shared the first service at St Laurence's on Christmas Day 1921, conducted by Rev J S Beasley. - Mr Hunter White of  'Havilah' Mudgee gave four blocks of land in Rogers Street. However land donated by Mr and Mrs Dangar of 'Rookwood' Singleton was chosen as the church site. - This simple, charming gothic church, with its rough-hewn sandstone and corrugated iron roof, evolved over decades. The nave and chancel were finished in local stone in 1921, the rectory in 1925, and in 1939, the belfry and a St Mary bell, weighing 4 hundredweight. - In 1984 the temporary fibro entrance porch was replaced in local sandstone. When the Windamere Dam was built in the 1970s the cedar doors and sandstone for the fence were retrieved from Cudgegong Church of St James.
