History and Architecture:
Molong was first opened up from Bathurst as a preach ing place about 1 849. In that year the Rev. Benjamin Chapman jeported that “the mines at Molong and Bathurst had been supplied with ministerial labour once a month. The stone church was built in 1858, at a cost of £743. The transept and vestry were added subsequently.
A Foundation stone reads, "To the Glory of God this stone was set by W.R. Glasson FRCSA October 8 1955".
