St Georges Church
Located in the Thames town centre on the corner of Mackay and Mary streets, Saint Georges Anglican church is a fine example of a wooden Gothic building (based on the Gothic stone European churches).
It has been a central feature of the town ever since it was built in 1872.
In November 2021 a performance of The Messiah was given by St Georges Choir to celebrate the 150 yr anniversary since Auckland Choral Society sang in Thames to celebrate fundraising to build the Church.
