SWANSEA COMMUNITY COTTAGE Inc


The Restoration of the historical St Peters Anglican Church

The restoration of the historical St Peters Anglican Chapel has occurred over the past year through an extensive series of renovations to bring this important piece of history back to the Swansea community.  From historical research, the Chapel has been identified as the oldest freestanding building in Swansea.

The Chapel is based at the rear of ARTea's Gallery & Garden, 28 Josephson St, Swansea and has been lovingly restored and is now available to the community for hire.  

In addition, the Chapel is the host to HELM - Heritage of East Lake Macquarie.
