The former St Mary Magdalene's Anglican Church, Coraki property is now privately owned. It was closed on 30 September 2018 and sold in February 2019.
The first Anglican church building at Coraki was dedicated on 12/10/1878 by the Bishop of Grafton and Armidale, the Rt Rev Dr Turner. It was of wooden construction, to which additions were made over the years. It was destroyed in a gale in January, 1931.
The present church building was dedicated on 28/2/1913 by the Coadjutor Bishop of Grafton and Armidale, the Right Rev Cecil Druitt..
The building was consecrated on 7/5/1919 by Bishop Druitt.
