Wesley Uniting Church Great War Memorial Windows, Broken Hill
Description
Two memorial stained glass windows in the heritage-listed Wesley Uniting Church in Broken Hill. The windows are exact copies of the honour rolls from the Great Wall of the former Blende Street Methodist Church and the Sulphide Street Methodist Church.
These windows were installed in 1927 when these two congregations united in this building. Until the windows were installed, one congregation met in the morning and the other in the evening. The windows were responsible for uniting the two congregations together in joint worship.
The church is situated on the corner of Cobalt and Sulphide Streets in Broken Hill.
