Our History
A History of Transformation
Our stunning location has an intriguing history. First settled in 1886 by Henry Severn, the property later became a well-known location for community events in the grand Preedy Hall, built by Mr. and Mrs. Burchell. The present Main Hall was constructed in 1926 after a fire destroyed the original structure. In 1979, God led Charlie and Marlene Fordham to found Capernwray Harbour Bible Centre with nothing but $100 in their pockets.
