St Mathews Anglican Church in Estcourt is a beautiful example of a church built out of local sandstone in 1882. The first church was built on the Bushman's River in 1872 and then moved up to its present position in Lorne Street. The church was dedicated in 1882 by Vicar George Smith (1872-1879). The interior has as special ambience with most of the windows reflecting light through the stained-glass windows that have been donated by local families. The main altar stained-glass windows bear the names of men of the district who died in WWI. The church tower was extended later with a Gothic look about it. Alongside the church is the graveyard which is in a separate album on this site.
