Proud South Australian History 🇦🇺
The foundation stone for Holy Trinity, the oldest surviving church in South Australia, was laid by Governor Hindmarsh on the 26th Jan 1838. The Colonial Chaplain, Revd Charles Howard, had conducted his first service nearby under a sail he dragged from Holdfast Bay in a handcart.
Six months later, the first baptism was conducted in the church – much to the surprise of the workmen who were still putting the roof on.
Holy Trinity was portrayed by S T Gill in 1845 - the watercolour is in the Art Gallery of South Australia Collection.
