Comments

The Bald Hills Congregational Church/Sheoak Hill Congregational Church, Back Valley opened in 1856 with services conducted in it until 1901, and finally closed in 1905. The church furnishings were distributed to other churches in 1919. Before the church building was erected, earlier services were conducted in private homes by the Rev Newland. The building was also used as a school from about 1860 to 1885, when the State School was built. The former church building is now in a poor state of repair. A small cemetery is also located on the site, with five pioneer headstones. More histrorical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 13/6/2025.
