Christ Anglican Church

The Christ Anglican Church complex, comprising the brick church (1876-77 with additions 1888-92), former brick vicarage (1888-92) at 1 Church Street (separately listed in this study), 1904 timber Sunday School and 1958 Parish Hall at 2-8 Palmerston Street, Berwick.

The Christ Anglican Church complex is of local historic, social and aesthetic significance to the City of Casey.

Historically and socially, it is significant as a focus for the Berwick district Anglican community for more than a century. It has importance for its associations with a large number of prominent local families. Particular features of importance include the altar and the leadlight dedication windows. The bell tower, dedicated to important local artist and nurse Jessie Traill is also of interest.

Aesthetically, the church is architecturally significant as a reasonably intact example of an early brick church in the region, with additions over the years reflecting expansion of the local congregation who continue to use the building for its original purpose. It is also notable as the focus of an intact complex of buildings including the Sunday School, Parish Hall and Vicarage, which contribute to its setting.
