Originally used as a military store during Norfolk Island’s penal days, this 180-year-old building now serves a dual function as both museum and Anglican church. For a history fix, go to the lower level to the Commissariat Store. One of the Norfolk Island Museums, the venue displays artefacts uncovered from the Kingston UNESCO World Heritage Site. These artefacts range from the practical (think Polynesian tools) to the downright grisly (leg irons and whips that were used to keep convicts in line).
You’ll find All Saints Church above the Commissariat: it was converted following the resettlement of Bounty mutineers from Pitcairn Island in the mid-19th century. Visiting worshippers are welcome, so please ask the friendly staff at the Visitor Information Centre for the current services days, times and venues.
