Comments
The Church of The Holy Spirit, Kettering is now closed, and the property was sold in December 2022. The church since its inception had been ecumenical, the land for a place of worship and a cemetery being provided on that basis by Dr Crowther and a Mr M Holmes. Accordingly the original structure, erected in 1863, was known as a Union Church, and made available for use by protestant denominations, to serve the surrounding rural population. The original building was replaced about 1900 with a more substantial structure. This building was replaced in 1969, after it was damaged in a bushfire in 1967. The new building was shared by Anglican, Catholic and Uniting congregations. A cemetery is located nearby. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation(s) are invited. Photographs uploaded 1/5/2023.
