Comments
The Mosman Village Church is part of the Parish of Mosman and the Diocese of Sydney. After 135 years, St Clements Anglican Church has a new name, seeking to enhance its position in the heart of the local community, through its interactions with its people, its history and its future. This first church building was opened on 26/8/1888. The present bulding was opened on 6/12/1903.
(Sunday Times - 6 December 1903) "DEDICATION OF ST, CLEMENT'S MOSMAN. The new Anglican Church of St. Clement's, Mosman, was opened by the Archbishop yesterday in the presence of a large number of people. A most impressive dedication service was held. The building, which is in the late Gothic style, seats over 700 people."
