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.

A license agreement with the Anglican Vestry for housing the piano in St George's Church was signed in June 1983 and a piano trolley constructed by Bert Bell, Laurie Beilby and Gane Griffin. The first concert using the new piano was presented on Saturday July 16th 1983 by the Viennese Duo Eleanore Rona and Georg Hauer, followed in November of that year by a concert given by Diana Morcom from Whitianga.
