Statement of Significance

The two Canary Island Palms within the front garden of the Trinity Lutheran Church, 51 Victoria Street, Doncaster are considered to be of regional significance for their connection with the National Trust listed church (c.1892), adding to the significance of the setting. They are also significant as replacements for two trees originally supplied by Baron Ferdinand von Mueller.

The English Box hedges surrounding the palms were also likely to have been of high significance, being comparable to those reputedly designed by von Mueller at 131 High Street, Doncaster. The box hedges may also have been designed by von Mueller due to the connection with the palms and the similarity to the hedges at 131 High Street.
