Statement of Significance
National Estate Register:
The Inverleigh Presbyterian Church is a typical country parish Church, simply planned as a gabled and
buttressed hall and with minimal adornment or stylistic reference. It is one of a number of similar Churches
designed by architect Joseph Shaw and has no special place in his extensive practice in the Geelong region.
The church has interesting associations with the district, especially with Dr Robert Hope of Barwon Leigh
Station.
(The Commission is in the process of developing and/or upgrading official statements for places listed prior to
1991. The above data was mainly provided by the nominator and has not yet been revised by the Commission.
