Additional information: The Church at Mount Peel Station was built in 1868. Named ‘The Church of the Holy Innocents’ in memory of the four young children buried there between 1864-1869, it was designed by William Brassington and constructed using locally quarried stone. Inside the church is a plaque in memory to Acland’s life long friend George Tripp. The church was also consecrated by Emily Acland’s father, Bishop Harper in 1869.
