Three years ago Sandergrove’s tiny 154-year-old Wesleyan Methodist Church was at risk of “falling over”, but now it stands stronger than ever in Andrew and Livia Smith’s paddock.
Starting in mid-2018 the Smiths, along with local tradespeople, renovated the church, a small stable and the adjacent Tucker family cemetery and, for their effort, received the Alexandrina Council’s Mayoral Award as part of its recent heritage awards ceremony.

Sandergrove’s Andrew Smith, and wife Livia, received the Alexandrina Council’s Mayoral Award during its annual heritage awards ceremony last month. The Smiths have recently renovated a 154-year-old former church on their property.
