Church Of The Good Shepherd

Church Of The Good Shepherd, Phillipstowh, Linwood. The original wooden building was replaced by the present church, in brick, in 1884. When this building is completed it will be a handsome church in the Gothic style. At present there is accommodation for about 200 persons. The service, which is of an advanced type, is helped by a well-trained surpliced choir of thirty, accompanied by a pipe organ. The original wooden church, removed to a separate site, is now used as a Sunday school, which has an average attendance of 200. The handsome spire which ornaments the church was erected by public subscription to the memory of the late Mr. W. B. Mountford, who took a great interest in the church, of which he was the architect, vestryman, and cross-bearer.
