LORDS ESTATE

A Journey that Began in 1865

Our private chapel and historic estate is nestled atop one of the Seven Hills. It was previously the St Andrews Church of England complex, and the oldest building was constructed in 1865 on the Pearce family farm. Now privately owned, we still host a variety of Christian faith communities including regular Catholic, Pentecostal and Presbyterian services.

The land was donated to the church in the 1800s by the pioneering Pearce family who settled in the Seven Hills – Kings Langley area. In 1863 a small Gothic-style hall was built on the site, consisting of brick walls and a corrugated iron roof. The hall was used both as a school and a church for services until 1880.

On 13th October, 1880 the larger Gothic-style chapel was consecrated, consisting of a nave, chancel, porch and vestry, again built of sandstone, brick and a corrugated iron roof. The chapel features Cedar beam arches and panelled ceilings, stained glass and lead-light full length windows, vestry and a cellar. With the opening of the new chapel, the original building became the “Church Hall”.

In 1891 the vicarage was built – a large two-storey Victorian style residence with magnificently proportioned rooms bathed in timeless elegance.

In the chapel, the beautiful historic patina has been preserved on the outside walls, but inside a blank canvas awaits. Freshly lime-washed walls, original timber floors and the magnificent cedar arches and ceilings are highlighted with a sophisticated architectural lighting system that can be programmed to complement your personal theme or extended with your own lighting.

The Vicarage residence is now partially open, including the stunningly decorated formal dining room and beautiful drawing room for more intimate gatherings. The magnificent Grand Staircase is a magnificent backdrop for photography.

Ongoing community events include an annual Christmas Carol Service, prayer, worship and healing ministry nights, musical showcases for upcoming talent and community meetings.
