Mount Barker Uniting Church (former Dunn Memorial Church) |
| Registered Name |
Mount Barker Uniting Church (former Dunn Memorial Church) |
| Significance |
This church bears testament to the generosity and religious beliefs of one of South Australia's most notable flour millers and benefactors, John Dunn. His generosity was particularly evident in Mount Barker, where several community and institutional facilities were supported or founded by him. He was a man whose religion was one of deeds rather than words, and was deeply committed to the church in Mount Barker. He not only actively participated in its work for over 40 years, but also funded entirely the construction of the church named in his memory. At the time it was made, the gift of the church building was believed to be 'the largest individual donation which has been conferred on a religious denomination in this colony'.

Disclaimer
While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Development Plans, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the relevant Development Plan for Local Heritage Places/Contributory Items.
In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
