The Church

 

The Eskdale War Memorial Church was built by Thomas Clark and his daughter Annie in memory of Annie’s late husband, Lieutenant Percival Moore Beattie, who was killed in action at Le Quesnoy on 4 November 1918. The church was dedicated on 3 December 1920.

​

While vested in the Anglican Church, the church has been operated as a partnership between Anglican and Presbyterian churches and as such is a consecrated, Christian Church. We are committed to honour the church's traditional teachings and the church trustees are dedicated to the support of the community, the advancement of local people and causes and for the positive use of this place and our resources. As such, we welcome all people, to visit the church, attend worship services and belong to the faith community.

 

Planning Your Service

 

We welcome couples who would like to use the Eskdale War Memorial Church. The church is a House of Worship and a War Memorial, and we ask that you respect the spirituality and traditions of this place. It seats approximately 100 - 120 adults with 21 pews.

​

The church board allows ordained Ministers, Priests, Vicars, Pastors, Lay Preachers and secular registered Celebrants to take services upon approval of application.
