Comments

The Sheffield Uniting Church is part of the Presbytery of Tasmania and Uniting Church Synod of Victoria & Tasmania. The present church building was opened on 11/4/1937 and replaced an earlier wooden structure opened on 26/11/1882. Plans for a new church building began about 1922, due to the poor state of the original building, but due to slowness of fund raising and the deprecession, the completion was delayed until 1937. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 6/4/2023.
