Comments

The present Cawdor Uniting Church building was erected about 1902, and replaced an earlier church erected about 1850, on land given by the Macarthur Family. The church hall was built in 1962. The Cawdor Uniting Church Cemetery is located beside the church. It has been in use since about 1845 and contains many pioneer graves. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 4/8/2020.
