Comments
This former St James the Less Anglican Church, Pomborneit North is now closed, and the property was sold in 2008. Early Anglican services were held in the Pomborneit Presbyterian Church building, then moving to the Pomborneit North Hall on 7/8/1910. The St James church building was then erected, with services commencing in it on 3/8/1913. The church held its final service on 9/4/2006. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 17/1/2018 & 30/7/2023.
Contributed by Stephen Mills: My father Alex Mills was deacon (1945-6) and priest (1946-7) at nearby Swan Marsh. He conducted his first baptism at Pomborneit North in 1944. At the end of the war a lych gate was constructed at the entrance to the church to commemorate a local soldier who had been killed in Bougainville (Charles Cooper Boyd, KIA 17/3/45 aged 22)..
