The historic Wesley Church is a fine example of the quality construction work carried out by convicts in the Greenough region in the late 1800s. Built in 1870 the church is due to undergo restoration in the near future. Wander around the grounds and be sure to take a few photographs of the lovely building.
Wesley Church is part of the Greenough/Walkaway Heritage Trail which features 36 historic buildings including the Pioneer Cemetery, the Hampton Arms Inn and Gray’s Store which was also built by convicts in the 1860s.
