A plaque at the front records: Methodist (later Uniting) Church - These heritage listed church buildings date from 1859 when the church was constructed by the Methodist congregation under the pastorship of Reverend Mr. R. Caseley. By the 1870s there were four churches in Franklin. The church hall was added behind the church in the 1900s. The house immediately north of the church was the Manse. In 1981 the buildings became part of the Uniting Church until they were sold in 1990. The Church buildings have undergone significant internal changes to accommodate family living.

Comments

The former Franklin Uniting Church closed about 1990, and the property was sold. The church had been part of the Presbytery of Tasmania and the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria and Tasmania. The church began about 1859, with some of the building dating from that time. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited.
