St Andrew's Uniting Church

As the first church to be built at Briagolong, the Presbyterian Church was one of the town's only social outlets and played a major role in drawing the community together.

Following the gazetting of the Briagolong township in 1873, the land in Church St was obtained by the trustees of the Presbyterian Church and in 1875 the new building was officially opened. In the early days the building was shared by the Anglican congregations and the Methodists, and in 1977, with the merger of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches, the church became part of the Uniting Church.

Originally 25 feet by 20 feet, with a shingle roof and built using redgum (most probably locally milled), the small building quickly outgrew its congregation, and several additions and modifications made during the 1800s and 1900s provided extra space and made the building more functional. In 1992, a new hall was added, thanks largely to contributions from Briagolong resident Peter Mills and his sister Margaret Marshall of Beechworth, with about 100 people attending its opening and a full house at the evening service.

Now no longer in service, the Church is a historic marker in the township.
