Photograph, Untitled, Yendon Catholic Church, Early 20th century
Importance of religion in the Yendon community is evidenced by the two churches. This is the weatherboard building of the catholic church and there was also a brick Anglican Church. Both these buildings were eventually removed when congregations declined as the community declined in the twentieth century.The catholic church was looking a bit delapidated in this photo taken just before it was demolished. Locals recall how the priest had to contend with all the birds nesting in the roof as the church slowly deteriorated.This is the only known photo ( as of 2010) of the Catholic Church in Yendon before it was removed.Enlarged printed copy of scanned Sepia photo of the Catholic Church, a wooden structure with a pitched tin roof, at Yendon just before it was removed.The grass is high and the barbed wire is not strained. The arched church windows have several broken panes of glass.It is a rectangular building with two additional spaces - an entry and a vestry. religion, tin roof, church, yendon, catholic, arched windows, vestry, broken panes of glass, weatherboard churches, pitched roofs, barbed wire -
