Comments

The Christ Church Anglican Church, Murringo is part of the Parish of Boorowa and the Diocese of Canberra & Goulburn. It was opened in August 1866, and consecrated on 7/12/1866. The decision to erect the church building, and the funding of the initial construction, was very strongly supported by Mr J Pring, the local magistrate. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 8/6/2021.
