Heritage Week 2012 at Calary Church
Calary Church is opening its doors during Heritage Week, and will provide free guided tours of the church and grounds. This gives an opportunity to see the pulpit used by John Nelson Darby, who was influential in founding the Plymouth Brethren and is also known in the theological world as the “father” of dispensationalism. Darby was curate in the Calary area between 1826 and 1828 and, when Calary Church was consecrated in 1834, the pulpit that he had used in the adjacent school was moved to the church and continued to be used until the 1920’s. The church will be open between 2pm and 5pm on Saturday 18, Sunday 19, Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 August. Tea and coffee will be available and plants and country produce will be on sale.
