An information board records: Wauraltee Church - 1876 ~ 1964 - Wauraltee Methodist Church. David Duthie gave the land for the Church opened by Rev R Kelly on 26th November 1876. Constructed of timber and iron at a cost of 34 Pound. The Church was almost debt free after the 'tea meeting and musical entertainment' held on the following day, according to the treasurer, J C Leonard. - The building was enlarged a few years later to accommodate a larger congregation that required 'further sitting accommodation'. Sunday School was conducted regularly by Mr & Mrs Williss. - A stone building which remains to this day was erected in 1882 and served as a house of worship until 1951. Following the closure of the school in 1946, it was inevitable that the church would close. - The Home Mission Dept received the furnishings, whilst the sale of the property and closure of the books were recorded in July 1964. |
