Until a short while ago, I had no idea that Haymarsh even existed. In all my passes over the map on google earth, somehow I missed it. Until one day...I didn't. It's so small it doesn't look like much of anything. But when you drive the gravel roads (which aren't in the best condition) around all the curves and over the hills and you reach Haymarsh (which is just really a church and a school) you'll wonder why you didn't know about it sooner. It's such a pretty spot! And so remote. But it really was something once.
The townsite was founded in 1890, the church in 1887 (but it burned to the ground twice). The current church was built in 1937, so it's an old structure! I don't think the town ever had much more than the church and school and a few houses/farms. I'm not sure when the school closed, but the church stopped having weekly services in 1992. So it's been awhile.
You can read a more detailed history of the church at the link below, and I recommend it! It has an interesting history:

Christopher Wren's Dome.
St Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in London and is the seat of the Bishop of London. The cathedral serves as the mother church of the Diocese of London. It is on Ludgate Hill at the highest point of the City of London and is a Grade I listed building. Its dedication to Paul the Apostle dates back to the original church on this site, founded in AD 604. The present structure, dating from the late 17th century, was designed in the English Baroque style by Sir Christopher Wren. Its construction, completed in Wren's lifetime, was part of a major rebuilding programme in the city after the Great Fire of London. The earlier Gothic cathedral (Old St Paul's Cathedral), largely destroyed in the Great Fire, was a central focus for medieval and early modern London, including Paul's walk and St Paul's Churchyard, being the site of St Paul's Cross.
St. Hilarion Castle is located in the Kyrenia Mountains in North Cyprus, overlooking the city of Kyrenia. The castle dates from the 11th century, and is named after a 10th century monk, who established a hermitage there.
The castle fortification was began by the Byzantines, and later became a Crusader castle. It commands superb views of the Mediterranean Sea, hence its role in protecting the island from pirates and other invaders.
