Statement of Significance
Church Statement of Significance: Lloyd Tayler's earliest work, built in 1860-62 with extensions in 1868. The austere and expansive interior is well planned and culminates in a distinctive vaulted crossing. Timber ceilings in nave, transepts and chancel are notable.

Organ Statement of Significance: A two-manual organ of 12 stops built in 1958 by the German firm of Werner Bosch for a church in Wellingon, New Zealand, and installed in its present location in 1983 by Knud Smenge who reconstructed the action and console and revoiced the pipework. This instrument, which was Smenge's first two-manual contract in Melbourne, has been extensively used for recitals and recordings and exerted an important influence on organ music in Melbourne since its opening.
