Grong Grong - St Matthew's Anglican Church (Former)

The St Mathews’s Anglican Church is a simplified ‘Gothic
Revival’ red brick church with gabled ends, corrugated
iron roof and smaller entry nave to the front constructed
in 1912. The church is important due to its historical
background as a religious building, its aesthetic qualities
and contribution to streetscape


*Anglican services had been conducted in private homes from the 1880s, and in the Presbyterian church from 1890, but it wasn’t until 1911 when the congregation set about building their own church, to a design by Mr H C Hind, architect of Narrandera.
The foundation stone was laid in September 1911, by Mrs. Brideoake, and it was only a few months later when the church was completed and officially opened, in December 1911. The opening ceremony was performed by the Right Reverend Dr. Anderson, Bishop of Riverina.
The church, built from red bricks and an iron roof in a Gothic Revival style, appears to have remained relatively unchanged, and due to lack of use, it has recently been placed on the market for sale by the Diocese.
