Information Board records: Uniting Church - During the 1870s Mr John Mildred Sangar of Wangamong gave the money for the building of a Daysdale Church, which was to be a Free Union Church, open to all denominations. The church was erected in 1913 and officially opened on 1st March 1914 (next to the Post Office). This church continued in its intended role until the late 1930s when the Rev Peppercorn had it consecrated in the Church of England. The Presbyterians and the Methodists moved to the Mechanics Institute. Then mainly through the efforts of Miss Ada Matuschka, the Bishop of the Riverina handed over the Church building to the Uniting Church just for the cost of the legal Transfer. The Church was closed permanently in October 1994, the land and building was sold, and the building was removed. The Bell remains as a landmark. |
| Date Opened: | 01-03-1914 |

Comments
The Daysdale Uniting Church closed in October 1994, and the property has been sold and the church building removed. The bell tower remains on the site (2025). The church had been part of the Presbytery of Riverina and the Uniting Church Synod of NSW & ACT. Funds for the erection of a Free Union Church building were provided by Mr John Sanger, which was opened on 1/3/1914. The building was to be availavble for use by all denominations. However, in the late 1930s it was consecrated by the Church of England, and appears to have been used by them subsequently. In 1971 it was transferred to the Methodist Church, which became part of the Uniting Church in 1977. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 27/5/2025.
