Comments

The former Learmonth Uniting Church has closed and the property has been listed for sale (2025). The church had been part of the Presbytery of Western Victoria, and the Uniting Church Synod of Victoria and Tasmania. The first church building was a wooden structure, opened in February 1858. It was replaced by the present building, opened on 19/3/1876. The stone fence and gates were erected in the 1950s as gifts. The former Presbyterian Church became part of the Uniting Church in 1977. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 26/12/2021 & 13/6/2025.
