Comments
The former Yolla Uniting Church has closed, amd the property was sold in 2020. The church was part of the Presbytery of Tasmania and the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria & Tasmania. Early Wesleyan Methodist services in the district were held in private homes, until a church building was erected/opened at Camp Creek, on 24/5/1896, about a kilometre from the present day Yolla. The building was extended in 1905. It was later relocated closer to the the emerging settlement of Yolla, and re-opened on 7/8/1922. The present church building was opened on 17/12/1967, with the original building being converted into the church hall. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 9/3/2020.
