Cranebrook – St Thomas’ Anglican Church (former) and Palm trees

The former church demonstrates the development of a rural community in the region following the subdivisions of large land holdings in the 1880s, and is one of the few extant structures that demarcate the largely undeveloped private village. The church and palms provide insight to the evolution of this community. In other respects the church and memorial palms are representative of a movement from around 1900 to erect small community churches to serve outlying rural communities.
