Comments

The Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Melrose is part of the Parish of Jamestown and the Diocese of Willochra. The present church building was opened about 1955. It replaced an earlier building, erected on land donated by Mr Searle,  which was in use in 1866, although it was not complete. This structure was rebuilt about 1912, due to shifting foundations which made it unsafe. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 4/6/2025.
