St George’s Anglican Church, Invermay

Opened 1925 to replace an older building that closed the same year.

Foremost in the list of new churches comes St. George’s new church, Invermay, Launceston. We voice our congratulations to the rector, tho Rev. W. W. Gregson, and his parishioners, on tho successful issue of their effort. The result is most praiseworthy–a fine commodious brick church,’ as yet only partially completed, and not nearly free from debt.
Daily Telegraph, 21 April 1926

DEDICATION OF ALTAR.
In St. George’s Church of England, Invermay, last night, the new altar was dedicated. For the five years since the new church was opened efforts have been made, principally, by several women of the parish, to collect money for a new altar.
