The Andersons Bay Presbyterian Church
The Andersons Bay Presbyterian Church is a wooden building which was erected in 1861, and enlarged twenty years later. At first the district was visited by a missionary, who was engaged to take charge of this and other outlying districts, but in 1863 the Rev. J. H. McNaughton formerly of Nova Scotia was called to the charge. This gentleman was followed in 1877 by the Rev. C. Stuart Ross, of Riverton, who on his resignation in 1884. was succeeded by the Rev. A. Cameron. The church has two handsome windows erected to the memory of the late Mr. William Somerville, and the widow of the late Hon. Matthew Holmes. The Sunday school hall was built at a cost of £550. The manse is a fine brick residence, erected at a cost of £1200.
