Comments
The former All Saints Anglican Church, Forth closed prior to 2004, and the property was sold. It had been part of the Diocese of Tasmania. The first Anglican church building in Forth was opened on 27/4/1868 at a location closer to the Pioneer Cemetery. A new building was erected closer to the town in 1893, but this was destroyed by fire about 1933. A replacement building was opened on 2/3/1936, and dedicated by Bishop Hay on 3/5/1936. No other details are known about the former church. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 13/11/2018.
