| 説明 | Pancharpoo. Farmers moved into this area in the mid 1850s. Pancharpoo Primitive Methodist church was built in 1858 but soon enlarged in 1866 with labour donated by the congregation hence the 1866 date on the building. The first minister was Henry Cole. Built of fine local stone it finally closed in 1964 and was derelict for years but is now a residence. It was originally known as Reoboth, a Hebrew word meaning “The Lord Hath Made Room”. Wild Rosemary bushes still grow around the church with no watering and the cemetery behind the church began in 1865. Pancharpoo is an Ngadjuri Aboriginal word meaning “on the watch for kangaroos” presumably drinking from the river we now know as the Light River. The explorer John Hill named the river after Colonel William Light. John Hill also named the nearby Wakefield, Hutt and Gilbert rivers. The lands for the church were given by Mr Kinsey of Salisbury a devout Primitive Methodist. His daughter Martha Kinsey later married Jong I’anson of Pancharpoo district. He was a lay preacher in the district as were his brothers. The parents of John I’anson were Maria and Leonard I’anson and they were both buried in the cemetery here. They arrived in SA in 1839 and farmed at One Tree Hill before moving to Pancharpoo. Leonard I’anson died in 1875 aged 66 years and Maria died in 1907.The church celebrated their diamond jubilee in august 1918. Like many settlements a government school operated in this church from 1860 when it had 59 pupils until closure in 1866 when it had 59 pupils. A Post Office service for Pancharpoo opened in 1860.
