Overview
T he Launceston Examiner 2nd November 1875:
A new chapel and schoolmaster's residence have been erected at Kentishbury
by the Believer; the buildings are quite
an ornament to the place. The chapel was
opened for divine service a few Sundays
since by Messrs. Brown and Moyse, Evangelists, who have been laboring in the
district for some time past, with great
success.
On Sunday, the 10th of October 1875, amidst a gathering of attendees from distant locales, the inaugural ceremony for the Gospel Hall marked a significant occasion. The funds collected for the construction of the hall totaled £7, while expenses incurred amounted to £8-9-9. Notably, this unassuming structure appears to be Tasmania's earliest known Gospel Hall.
