History

From research it appears that this building replaced the Congregational Church which had this Lot #147 set aside for church purposes in 1951 and had a building dedicated in 1952- this building was given to the Bencubbin parish by the Darlington Congregational church and was taken down and then rebuilt over a period of time by the local church members. An item of interest is that new windows for this building were constructed by Mr Charlie Collins with the arch shaped forms by using the wooden rims of combine wheels
