The above mentioned Church Sydney has a huge historical significance for example let’s take St.Andrew, suburb is Abbotsford and its name came from the Abbotsford House, which was owned by the sir Arthur Renwick. This property was named only after the Abbotsford House in the UK that was the residence of many historical novelists and poets, such as Sir Walter Scoot. Abbotsford generally was formally known but its Aboriginal name which was BigiBigi.

The suburb Abbosford was originally a location of 5 dock farms and it was subdivided in 1837 at that time it was known as the Feltham. Sir Arthur Renwick was a doctor as well as a politician & a philanthropist; he built his home in the year 1890 and named it as Abbotsford House in the memory and honor of the Sir Walter Scott’s home.  In the year 1903 Renwick sold his belonging or properties to Albert Grace and in the year 1918 it became the Nestle chocolates’ factory.

It was initially chocolate production house then it became administrative offices. In the year 1991 the factory was closed after which the farm or the area was renovated as the Abbosford housing complex. Transport during those days were a big issues so they started running electric trams which was operated to Abbotsford till 1954 until when the buses took over the place.
