417 Narracan Connection Road

Narracan VIC 3824

Character abounds at the old Methodist Church in the rolling hills and rich farmland, nestled on the corner of the Narracan Connection Road at number 417 and across the road from the Narracan Creek.

The Coleman Bros from Yinnar constructed this church for a Methodist congregation at the turn of the century with the first Service of Worship held on Sunday the 8th July 1900. The church celebrated its golden jubilee in 1950 and a Sunday School hall was built at the rear of the church in 1952. The Sunday School had originally commenced on Sunday 22 May 1921 when 16 children gathered in a room in the house owned by Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell on their farm about 3 miles from Narracan.

This classic country church features Baltic pine and the sanctuary within the church was added in 1956. It became the Narracan Uniting Church after the union of the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregational churches in 1977 and the final service was held in September 2022.

Decorative features include the original curved paneled glass framed windows opened and operated by rope and pully. Hardwood railing and fret work for the pulpit, scalloped wall mounted lights and ceramic ended coat and hat mounts. This beautiful old building could tell many stories of the births, christenings, marriages and deaths much joy and sadness and so much more to give with a little TLC.

Public auction on Saturday 18th November 2023 onsite from 10am.
