A church built in 1863 to the design of Charles Webb, with what is possibly the most elaborate stuccoed Gothic facade in Victoria. In typical Webb fashion the decoration is concentrated on the central panel of the entrance (ecclesiastical west) front incorporating porch, traceried window, flanking octagonal turrets and piered parapet, and there is a generic resemblance to Webb's rather simpler Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church, Latrobe Street (1871).

A two manual organ of 23 speaking stops built in 1891 by Fincham & Hobday, Richmond, at a cost of 895 pounds.

This is one of the largest Fincham organs of its period to survive ... more
