Story

A part of Daylston since 1901

The former Holy Cross Catholic Church is a simple weatherboard church dating from 1901. It and the Edwardian Presbytery are of historic and aesthetic significance to the Dalyston area and are included in the Heritage Overlay of the Bass Coast Planning Scheme.

The Church and Presbytery are set within an expansive lawn reserve that is contained by impressive rows of mature Monterey Cypress along boundaries. Owners Sharon and Molly are very proud to be the custodians of such an iconic part of the Bass Shire History and will preserve this estate, in loving memory of Brett.
