The former St Thomas' Anglican Church, Wyrallah closed after the flood in 2022, and the property was donated. St Thomas' had been part of the Parish of Lismore and the Diocese of Grafton. The church building was erected in 1909, and seated about 55 people. The first service, held on 16/1/1910, was conducted by the Rev H J Velvin of Woodburn. The church celebrated its centenary on 10/5/2010. The building was also used by the Wyrallah Uniting Church - part of the Lismore Regional Mission. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 13/10/2018 & 13/3/2023.
Note: Photograph 3 shows how the church building was affected by the February 2022 floods, as it is sited right beside the Wilson River. As at 12/3/2023 it is well on its way to being restored,
