ST PAUL'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH - Physical Description 1
St Paul's Church is a red brick gothic revival building with a tower at the south-west corner, topped with a metal-clad spire and a crucifix. The multiple gabled roofs are slate. The brick parapets and window openings have cement rendered dressings. The west elevation has a round leadlight window above a triple-arched entrance porch
The plan is a full Latin cross. Notable elements include large brass doors, and a wagon-headed ceiling supported by richly-moulded principals springing from carved corbels. Diagonally-laid Kauri panelling forms some of the interior lining.
The surrounding garden includes some mature trees, in particular cypresses.
Landscape: The significant landscape around St Pauls Catholic Church consists of mature trees.
Two rows of Bhutan Cypress (Cupressus torulosa) are located on the north and west boundary lines of the churchyard. Two mature specimen trees, an Elm (Ulmus procera) and an Ash (Fraxinus excelsior), are located on the southern side of the church.
The remnant trees are of local interest as they provide a contemporary setting with the church. They form a prominent local landmark on the Sydney Road frontage. Whilst this style of planting is typical of churchyards from this period, it is not commonly seen in the City of Moreland.
