Name/TitleManse at Scots Church, Campbellfield c. 1850-1864
About this objectView of the original bluestone manse which was built for Reverend Peter Gunn. He was the second minister, and was there from 1845 until his death in 1864, and is buried in the church grounds. The bluestone manse, designed by architect, Charles Laing, was built for Gunn in 1850.
The church and manse stand on land donated by Neill Campbell, of the Campbellfield Estate, the original grantee. The architect was commissioned by the church committee in 1850 to prepare plans. In the beginning is served a primarily Scottish-born congregation. The burial ground in the churchyard was established in 1844.
