St Marys Pass Probation Station Chapel

Built as a Punishment Station, it opened in 1842 and closed in 1847. It was one of the stations for the punishment of sentenced passholders.

The Chapel is a large wooden building also the School Room.

The following quote is from Fingal Valley History:

In 1841 a Mr. Dawson surveyed a route on the northern side of St. Patricks Head which led to a convict probation station being set up in 1842 at Grassy Bottom. This was a grassy, flat area with plenty of water, on the foothills of St. Patricks Head. Once the Probation Station was built some 300 convicts were housed there.
