Statement of Significance
A focal church in the history of Victorian Presbyterianism, which accommodated powerful preachers and from which services were broadcast nationally in the mid-twentieth century. It is a large and imposing freestone building of 1883-84 and 1886-87 by Twentyman & Askew although without the projected 55 metre spire.
It comprises a nave, tower base and transepts built above an undercroft with the main facade incorporating an elaborate traceried window and porch, flanked by pinnacles and the incomplete tower. The interior included a particularly ornate diapered organ case from the Alfred Fuller organ of 1884, but what now remains is a shell following a fire which damaged the church in 1988.
