History and Architecture:
From 1873 church services were held at Ynoo at the Government well, in local homes and huts. The following year saw the church foundation stone laid on 8 December by Mrs S Rogers. The Church was opened on 4 April 1875 on land given by Samuel Rogers. The interior dimensions were to be 20 feet by 82 feet in the clear, walls 14 feet high, with gables 26½ feet. The roof was to be open, with stained and varnished timber, and matchboard ceiling. A porch as Vestry were added in 1901.
The church was upgraded and re built in 1976 when unique stained glass windows were added.
