Statement of Significance
A two-manual instrument, originally of 20 speaking stops, built in 1874 for the earlier Wesleyan Church in Lydiard Street, Ballarat by George Fincham and moved to its present location in 1892. Although the action and console have been changed, the instrument is of significance for the survival of a large corpus of early Fincham pipework, its excellent location and sound in a fine acoustical environment, and particularly its casework designed by Ballarat architect J A Doane with carving by T Thompson. This is a rare example of an architect-designed case and incorporates elaborately clustered corbels suppporting the three towers, cusped cresting and crocketed pinnacles.
