Although the church sign doesn't indicate it, the actual name of the church is Taylor Memorial Uniting Church, Inverell.
The church is heritage listed bur neither the Heritage Listing nor the Uniting Church's website give any any information about its age. Rather I found a website about the church's pipe organ which gives an historical account of the church.
This website, listed below, states:
"By 1871 the Wesleyan Methodists numbered 50 and comprised a vigorous group. In 1874 both the Wesleyans and Catholics erected simple brick buildings for worship. The first resident minister, The Revd Henry Wise, arrived in 1872. The first church featured a steep iron roof, face brick, modest buttresses and Gothic shaped window heads. This church is the one of only six surviving buildings constructed in the 1870s in Inverell. In front of this building is the newer Romanesque revival church - the only such building in the region - constructed in 1904 as a result of a substantial legacy from the will of Thomas Taylor".
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1904
