This building on the Woolmers Estate was originally built in 1830 as a chapel. One of the responsibilities of estate owners using convict labour was that they provided religious education to their charges. Once the convict era came to a close around 1850, the chapel was used sporadically.
The Archer family church was Christ Church in Longford. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/53545212307/in/dateposted/ . From 1890 the chapel functioned under the auspices of the Longford Baptist Tabernacle to serve local farm workers. www.flickr.com/photos/luminosity7/53544563640/in/dateposted/
In 1910, Thomas Archer IV turned the chapel into a cider house. Using the apples grown in their nearby orchard, they produced a cider that was marketed locally.
