Note: (Research):�i�In 1859, the Reverend Oldham - father of Thomas Fulton Oldham - took over the management of the Kapunda mine from his retiring friend of many years, Captain Charles Harvey Bagot. Such was the friendship between these two men, that the Rev. Oldham named at least two of his children after the good Captain. The Advertiser of Friday 18 November 1859 carries on page 1 in the Public Notices column, letters of farewell to Captain Bagot, his replies to the people of Kapunda, and letters of welcome to the Reverend Oldham as mine manager.

Some 55 years ago the late Captain William Oldham, then manager of the Kapunda mine, and a stanch Congregationalist, together with a few followers, held regular services in the mine storeroom until 1858, when it was resolved to build a church. Accordingly the front part of the present building was erected, and in October of the same year a fellowship of twelve members was formed, and a call given to Mr. Oldham, who was ordained and became tbe first Pastor........
Having given the church a start Mr. Oldham resigned his office as pastor. In January, 1861. the Rev. Morgan Williams accepted the pastorate, which was continued until 1874.
