Weslyn Church, Port MacquarieThe site of the first Methodist Church on the North Coast, the church was built in 1845 under the leadership of William Litchfield.

The church was one of the first built by voluntary subscription and mainly voluntary labour. It closed in 1848, due to a declining congregation in line with Port Macquarie's general decline in population, but re-opened in 1857.

Despite a number of alterations to the building, most notably those of the 1870s to the nave and the 1928 replacements of the porch, much of the original fabric and integrity remains. It was restored in 1995 with amenities and is used as a Chapel for special occasions.

The building is classified by the National Trust of Australia (NSW).

Open: Monday to Friday, 11am to 1pm.

Getting there: Horton Street.
