Statement of Significance

One of Victoria's oldest surviving parish churches, built in 1850 on one of the original village reserves which had been surveyed by Robert Hoddle in 1838. It is the only definitely identified example in Victoria of the work of the important Tasmanian architect, James Blackburn (whose later practice in Melbourne was mainly carried on through his son). The building is of squared coursed bluestone rubble with simple branching mullions and with a plain interior.
