The Laidley Anglican Church is 113 years old this year! The Foundation stone was laid on 15 November 1909 by the Archdeacon of Toowoomba A.R. Rivers.

 

The Church is an example of Gothic architecture and possibly the first church in Australia to be constructed with reinforced cement.

​

Don't forget to check out the function centre behind the church where you will find an 'Inside Out Art Exhibition' put together by a group of spectacular artists.

 

Susan Dryden will showcase her ‘interiors’ oil paintings which feature quiet spaces for the viewer to step into and find peace.
