Statement of Significance

A substantial brick "town" church designed by Inskip & Butler built in 1898, with the addition of a tower in the 1960s to a different design, comprising a lofty clerestoried nave, passage aisles, elevated chancel, vestries and organ chamber. The building is notable for its striking facade embracing a large five-light lancet window, flanking octagonal turrets and arch, with brickwork in diaper patterns. The roof ridge remains unbroken from east to west with a distinctive brick interior. This was Victoria's first church in the Arts and Crafts mode, and perhaps the first really up-to-date church built in the colony for thirty years.
