Congregational Sunday School
Description
History
The flood in 1893 submerged the first Congregational Sunday School so they moved to higher ground in East Street. The foundation stone was laid for what is said to be the 'largest, best and best-adapted Sunday School building in the Southern Hemisphere.' The new Sunday School cost £4000 and was opened in 1895.
