Officially known as ‘All Saints Anglican Church’, Gostwyck Chapel was built in 1921 in memory of Major Clive Collingwood Dangar who lost his life during World War I. The chapel was constructed entirely of bricks made and fired on Gostwyck Station. The stone wall surrounding the chapel was built to protect it from flood waters from the nearby Salisbury Waters. The magnificent tree lined avenue of 200 Elms was planted by a worker who was brought out from England specifically for the task.

A favourite spot for photographers during the Autumn months when the leaves on the Elm Trees turn gold providing a perfect backdrop for the Virginia Creeper that covers the chappel and turns to red. No such luck for us this morning with the golden leaves but it is certainly a place I will visit again in the not to distant future.
