Comments

The former Tickera Methodist Church was opened by Mrs O Lake on 23/10/1889 and closed on 25/10/1953. The property is now privately owned.

(The Kadina and Wallaroo Times (SA:1888-1954)/ Thur 15 Oct 1953 p2 ) "TICKERA AND ALFORD METHODIST CHURCHES TO AMALGAMATE. Because of the changed conditions existing at Tickera, very different from the early days when the church was built, it has been decided to close the Tickera church. Those who until recently have attended there will transfer their loyalties to the Alford Church and Sunday schooL A service of thanksgiving for the past record of Methodist witness in the community will be held on Sunday, October 25th, at 3 p.m. Rev. P. J. Phillips will be the preacher. Books will be distributed to the children who have been attending Sunday school in recent years."

More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 9/7/2018.
