Statement of Significance

This former 1858 church has state historical significance as the only known surviving United Methodist Free Church in Victoria. It has architectural significance as a very early church in the district, with distinctive features including the Greek Revival parapet and round arched windows. The architectural integrity of the church has been reduced due to alterations to the windows (formerly Georgian) and additions to the rear and probable internal alterations relating to its conversions to residential use.
