St Thomas Church, South Eyre Rd
St Thomas’ Anglican – 590 South Eyre Road.
The Eyreton settlers originally attended St Paul’s at Flaxton, but that church
was not always accessible due to bad roading and flooding, so it was decided
to establish a church at Eyreton. Marmaduke Dixon donated land for a church
and cemetery. The Price Brothers were the builders and the church was
dedicated on 17 February 1874. The church was attached to the Kaiapoi
Parish and was first served by the Rev. Wm. W. Willock.
The Eyreton Cemetery is alongside.
The Chch lot seem reluctant to move beyond the city limits so I've moved it a bit closer to town
