Statement of Significance
Church is the more notable element of this complex and is an important and possibly unique example of Gothic Revival in Victoria. It is articulated in a Mannerist style and incorporates a series of features which are made nonsense by the great bulk of the structure and its internal space.
These features include fine pinnacles and bell-cote, row of tiny clerestory windows, slender nave columns and unusual tiny porches on the west facade. Zebra polychrome window decoration is also important.

UNITING CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL - Physical Description 1
The former Methodist Church and Sunday School, Long Gully, were erected in two stages; the school in 1865 (contractor: Mr. Patterson) and the church in 1877 (contractors: Manley and Harris and Mr. Marks). The architects for both stages were Vahland and Getzschmann. The complex is dominated by the brick church which comprises an aisled nave. The school is a simply conceived buttressed hall at the rear of the church. The two are united by a small arcade.
