St Thomas Church
Feel the atmosphere of this remarkable building; contemplate the early worshippers and the lives of those assigned to its construction. St Thomas' Church is the fifth oldest Anglican Church still in use in Australia. It was convict built and still retains original family pew boxes, built with high sides and raised to protect "free" families from the gaze of convict worshippers.
Convicts began building St Thomas' Church in 1824. The walls consist of 365,000 hand made bricks and are about 1 metre thick in the nave, and more in the tower. Look for a fingerprint and other marks on the bricks, used to tally the number of bricks made per convict.
Gold coin donation appreciated.
Directions: Located in the heart of Port Macquarie's CBD, on the high side of Hay Street.
Our Opening Hours are Weekdays 10.00am - 12noon & 2.00pm - 4.00pm
