Statement of Significance

Heritage Value – A rare example of church and cemetery that is no longer associated with a town as it is the only remnant remaining of the former town of Greenhills.
Historic Value – The Church and Cemetery was developed and maintained by the Penny family who are prominent community members in the Greenhills district, having been one of the earliest members in the Greenhills area. Penny family is one of the earliest European settlers in the area, being involved in local government and having lent the name from their farm ‘Green Hills’ to the area and church.
Social Value – This has been an important social and religious centre for the Anglican community since its construction in 1912, with generations of funerals, baptisms and marriages.
