Comments
The former Lara Presbyterian Church has now closed, and the property was sold in 1980. Early Presbyterian services were held from about 1904 in the Wesley Methodist Chapel, until the church building was erected/opened in 1909. A kindergarten was opened about 1955 and a hall in 1962. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 31/3/2022.
