Comments

The present St Laurence's Anglican Church, Barraba was consecrated on 22/3/1909. It replaced an earlier church building erected at cnr Alice St & Queens St, and built about 1874/5. Over the years a number of additional buildings and alterations have been carried out to meet the needs of the congregation. These have included a number of war memorial items, including the pipe organ and a stained glass window. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited.
