Comments

The former St Brigid's Catholic Church, Crossley no longer functions as a church. It was built about 1914 with funding largely from Irish Settlers, and closed about 2006. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 28/9/2021.
