Background
History
Nanpean church was built in 1879 dedicated to St George the Martyr. The building has an apsidal chancel, nave and south aisle, and a small bell turret. Nanpean also had a Wesleyan Methodist chapel. The original village school was built in 1898. It was refurbished and extended in 2002 and a further extension was added in 2004. In the 1930s, Nanpean had a range of businesses, including a cobbler's shop, which also served as a place for local men to discuss important issues of the day. There is a much smaller range of businesses based in Nanpean today. Nanpean is believed to be the origin of the name of the Nepean River in Australia, via the colonial administrator Evan Nepean.
