Comments

The St Silas Anglican Church, Breadalbane is part of the Cartwright Mission District and the Diocese of Canberra & Goulburn, It was formerly known as The Chisholm Memorial Church of St Silas, as a tribute to the generosity of Mrs Lucy Chisholm, who donated the land and assisted with the cost of the church building. The original St Silas church building was located in Mutmutbilly Road, at the site of the St Silas Anglican Church Cemetery. It was demolished a decade or so after WW1, due to the undermining of its foundation by tree roots, and the materials used to erect the present church building. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 15/9/2021.
