Comments

The All Saints Anglican Church, Kempsey began about 1857 with the appointment of a the Rev F R Kemp as rector to the Parish of Kempsey. As there was no church building a temporay wooden structure was commenced in April 1885 and opened 19/7/1885. In the meantime services were held in the Court House and other halls,

While the foundation stone of the present church on 11/10/1883, it was not until 29/7/1913, with the erection of the spire, that the present  building was completed and opened, by the Right Rev. H E Cooper, Bishop of Grafton.

More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 2/4/2020.
