History
Iona church was designed to replace an earlier wooden church. The new stone church was designed by Nathaniel Wales. The foundation stone was laid in 1871 and the building was opened on 7 January 1872. As a result of a growing congregation an additional gallery was added between 1882 and 1883. The new gallery became the main church and the original church building became the church hall.
