Statement of Significance

A brick Modernist Anglican church complex built in 1956 to the design by the respected church architect Keith Reid. It has a particularly interesting interior including several art works. It is architecturally significant locally as an early work of Reid, and as an early Modernist building in Croydon and for the fine craftsmanship of the artworks it contains, including the windows, historically significant for its association with religious developments in Croydon and socially as known and valued by Anglicans in Croydon as part of their sense of identity, as their meeting place and a repository of Anglican memory in Croydon.
