Statement of Significance

The Echuch Uniting Church, built in 1869 is of regional architectural significance as a polychrome church designed by prominent architects Crouch and Wilson.
It is significant for the decorative polychrome effect provided by contrasting the red bricks of the body of the church, with cream bricks, and dark painted wall banding and voussoirs, although much of the dark colour appears to have been washed away, reducing the polychrome effect to bichrome.
The trancepts were added later in a sympathetic matching style, but it is not known whether they were part of the original design.
