Rockley is a quiet historic village with a rich history and a National Trust listing.
Located in the Central Tablelands 36km south of Bathurst and 250km from Sydney, Rockley is a friendly and supportive community where people can enjoy a peaceful rural lifestyle.
Many of Rockley’s original historic buildings are still standing, including the magnificent 19th century pub, old steam flour mill (1862), two Edward Gell churches (1867 and 1869) and the Abercrombie Shire Council Chambers (1912) which is now a private home.
A splendid Victorian Italianate building designed by Bathurst architect John Job Copeman and built in 1890.
Designed by prominent colonial architect Edward Gell, the church was built in 1867 of local handmade bricks.
Built in 1858 by Arthur Budden as a general store, residence and agency of the AJS Bank, this was the first store in the area.
Originally the town Flour Mill, this impressive three storey red brick building was built in 1862 and is now the Rockley Mill & Stables Museum.
The only one of three early hotels still standing, the 'Club House Hotel' was built in 1872 by William Brownlow. The pub is a hub of local activity and boasts a Matt Moran pub menu.
A high Victorian Gothic building built in 1869, this is the second church in Rockley designed by colonial architect Edward Gell.
We believe in fostering a connected and inclusive community through hosting events, supporting community improvements and collaborating with Council on behalf of the community.
