Failford Memorial Church and Stained Glass Window

About

For many years church services had been held in the public hall at Failford. Following donations made by members of the Methodist community, a new building was erected as a memorial to the men of Failford who gave their lives in the First World War. The Reverend V A S Little presided over the opening and dedication of the new Failford Methodist Memorial Church on 27 December 1924, with the formal opening conducted by Reverend H Skuse.  At the time, there were three memorial windows in the church; the first dedicated to Wiley and Harry Croker, which was unveiled  by Mrs Robert Croker in memory of her two sons; the second to Charles Basham, a prominent worker in the church; and the third dedicated to men who gave their lives in the war, which was unveiled by Reverend S P Stewart (The Methodist (Sydney), 10 January 1925). In 1972 the church was moved from Failford and attached to the rear of the Nabiac Uniting Church, where it now serves as a hall. The memorial windows are available for viewing when the hall is open for public occasions.
