Comments

The former St Mary's Anglican Church, Preston has closed (prior 2008?), and the property has now been sold (2022?). The church was part of the Parish of Preston/Jika Jika and the Diocese of Melbourne. The present church building was opened about 1922. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 15/12/2023.
