From the mountain that surrounds it each one of it's stones was pulled by horse or rolled by local people. Built by Rev. Lee Woodward in 1924 and 1925, after serving as a medical missionary to China , he retired here to Orkney Springs..
A dug out stone used by the Indians to grind corn is the baptismal font.
