Comments

The St Andrew's Anglican Church, Kyabram is part of the Parish of Kyabram and the Diocese of Bendigo. The first church building in the district was erected at Henley (about 5 kms from Kyabram). It was opened by Bishop Moorehouse of Melbourne in 1884, and known as St Matthew's. With Kyabram's development as the main centre in the area, services began to be conducted there about 1888. The foundation stone for a new church building in Kyabram was laid on 1/12/1892 by Bishop Goe of Mebourne, and it was opened on 12/3/1893 by Canon H F Tucker, and known as St Andrew's. The original Henley building was demolished about 1900 by Mr Samuel Hunt and his four sons, and transported to Merrigum, where the materials were used to erect a church building there. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 28/5/2018 & 4/10/2022.
