Designed by Hubert Hall and opened in November 1930, St David’s was built of locally sourced uncut boulders, the roof is supported by wooden pegged rafters. No nails were used in its construction. The font is a stone mortar from Sutherland in Scotland and rests on a wheel hub from the Burnett family bullock wagon.
