Comments

The former St James' Anglican Church, South Greenough was built in 1872. It survived the terrible floods of 1888 and continued as a place of worship until 1961. Shortly afterwards, the building was saved from demolition by the local community. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 25/05/2015.
