Comments
The former St James Anglican Church, Jerrys Plains ceased holding services in 2017, and the property was sold (2025). The church had been part of the Parish of Singleton in the Diocese of Newcastle. The current church building was dedicated and opened on 11/11/1879, and subsequently consecrated by the Rev Dr Pearson, Bishop of Newcastle on 12/11/1885. It replaced an earlier structure erected about 1847. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 5/10/2026.
