Comments
The St Mark's Anglican Church, Nyngan is part of the Parish of Nyngan and the Diocese of Bathurst. It was built as an ANZAC memorial church, and was named St Mark's because both ANZAC day and St Mark's day fall on April 25th. It replaced the first Anglican church built in Nyngan, St Paul's, also in Bogan Street, next to the Catholic school. The ACNC records the original church as being established in 1888. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 6/4/2018 & 1/8/2021.
