| 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'.
