About St Aidan's Anglican Church

Saved from removal by the local Algie family when put up for sale by the Anglican Church, St Aidan’s is a cherished historic country church with a foundation stone dating back to 1901. Though deconsecrated in 2010 so it could remain in the valley rather than being carted away, it continues to serve the rural community as a venue for special gatherings and weddings. Inside, the sanctuary features a wooden altar, Stone-Wigg memorial windows, and stained glass, while outside, neatly kept grounds host an informative noticeboard detailing the district's pioneering past and historic photographs.

Visitors find a spotless, remarkably well-tended country sanctuary that clearly remains deeply cared for by locals. Tucked about 100 metres up Castle Hill Road just off State Highway 52 in Alfredton, it offers a tangible connection to the early farming settlements of the Tararua district.
