Statement of Significance

A most imaginative and striking church in red brick, with cement detailing designed by Robert Haddon and built in 1906 comprising a broad nave with sloping floors, porches, transepts and vestries. The building is of great interest for its magnificent traceried windows, particularly the west window which is bisected by central mullions which rise into a diminutive turret capped by a wrought iron finial. One of Australia's major Arts and Crafts churches, and one of Haddon's rare church designs, this building is notable for its meticulous detailing in brick, plaster, wrought iron and timber.
