Appin
The Appin Inn has been refurbished. The premises is recently hosted a fabulous display on the history of the Inn and its recent renovation, with emphasis on William Sykes (m. Sarah Byrne nee Best), the man who built the inn in the 1820s.’ (See Joe’s research in Tim Hill’s flyer on the Sykes).
Joy Farrow and Jan Richards did a wonderful job curating the display and their knowledge of Appin’s history and its families is formidable.
Across the road is St Bede’s Catholic Church and where lie some graves of Byrne family members.
The church has an impressive tower and originally had another level with turrets.
A bell was bought and shipped to Australia, only to be taken to St Bede’s in Braidwood by mistake. It remains there today but was too heavy for the Braidwood church building and has been housed in a frame, external to the church.
The Appin Inn is on Appin Road, opposite St Bede’s Catholic Church. Photos below.
