The Primitive Methodist Church
The Primitive Methodist Church at the Bluff was erected in 1877. The building, which stands on a quarter-acre section, has seating accommodation for 270 persons, exclusive of the choir, which will hold thirty. It was the pioneer church at the Bluff, and since its establishment has been considerably enlarged. Services are held morning and evening every Sunday, and the Sunday school is attended by eighty-four children, in charge of thirteen teachers. The parsonage, which contains six rooms was erected in 1900, and stands on a quarter-acre section on the hill overlooking the harbour and town. The church is free from debt.
