Brief History of C of E. in Singleton When the diocese of Newcastle was formed in 1847, the parish of Singleton was under the charge of Rev. Francis Cameron, M.A. He had come out to the colony from Scotland and had formerly been a Presbyterian minister. He was of a somewhat austere and rigid disposition, but methodical and careful. He arrived on New Years Eve, 1842, and performed divine service in the Court House, using that building as a church until the inhabitants could afford to build one. The Court House referred to was a building standing where the old municipal buildings stand in Burdekin Park, and was a large room 46 feet by 20 feet, which had been erected by Benjamin Singleton some two years earlier. Rev. Francis Cameron fell into an ill state of health and he decided to return to Scotland, and he was succeeded by the Rev. P. T. Beamish.

PIONEER MINISTER. Rev. Archibald Cameron. (REV. ARTHUR EDMUNDS.) Next week on the 10th and 14th of April Glen Innes and district will pay homage to the memory of one who made religion a force In New England. On those dates is to be commemorated the founding of the Presbyterian Church at Wellingrove. Thither towards the close of 1853 came a young Scottish minister, the Rev. Archibald Cameron, born at Crieff on May 13, 1815. He evidently captured quickly the regard of the hardy pioneers scattered sparsely through the vast extent of hush that he chose as the scene of his labours. Dated September l8, 1854, the following call was sent to him from Wellingrove. We, the undersigned inhabitants of the district of Wellingrove, hereby Invite the Rev. Archibald Cameron, minister of the Synod of Eastern Australia, to exercise the office of the ministry in this district, and engage to pay annually the sums appended to our names towards the temporal support of the minister. The signatures of 37 heads of families were appended to this, some being those of men who have become famous in the develop mentor the country surrounding Glen Innes. In that day of small things and small Incomes ,the quality of the signatories is revealed in their promise to contribute jointly the sum of 272/12/ per year towards the minister s stipend. Mr. Cameron spent the whole of his ministerial life in the service of the district. In June, 1903 the grand old man celebrate his Jubilee In the Christian ministry. Three years later, on May 16, 1906, having passed the 90th year of his fruitful life, he was gathered unto his fathers. Among the famous men that New England has cause to praise he stands pre-eminent. As a pastor he ministered to a parish that has been described as bounded only by the eternal hills on the cast and the sunset on the west. When we remember the unbridged rivers and the trackless bush of those far off days, and that all his visiting was done on horseback, we understand why right up to the present day the name of the Rev. Archibald Cameron is a name to conjure with. He has become a legend for super bushcraft and expert horsemanship
