The Blue Church
Description

In 1809, Anglicans of Augusta and Elizabethtown built a frame chapel, later called the "Blue Church," which served the parish until St. James, Maitland, was opened in 1826. The "Blue Church," unconsecrated, rarely used for services and in bad repair, was partially burned and taken down in 1840. The present small blue church was built in 1845.

Today it is used mainly as a funeral chapel and the cemetery which surround the church still contains memorials to many of the early settlers to the area.
