Christ Church, Longford
The Church of England community first began meeting in Longford in 1826 at the Woolmers and Brickendon Chapels. In much the same way as the Hadspen community worshipped in the chapel at Entally House. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/53501457598/in/dateposted/
The foundation stone for this building was laid by Lt Governor, Sir John Franklin, in March 1839. Franklin, as some may be aware, went on to fame and tragedy as the commander of the search for the Northwest Passage in which his ship disappeared in the Arctic ice for over 100 years.
This is a beautiful English style church building surrounded by park land. It also has a very historic graveyard out the back (as I showed you in The Road to Longford slideshow)..
