House - Physical Description 1
The simple bluestone church was commenced on' 16 'November 1864 to a design by C.D Cuthbert. The nave was opened in.1865, and there would appear to have been a halt in building until the addition of. The west transept in 1870. Probably due to the commencement of Christ Church-.Cathedral in.18l6.;the importance of this. church declined. In 1887 Tappin, Gilbert and Dennehy, architects, completed' renovations and alterations, but the church would have had a rather stark appearance until 1891 when the tower was added. In 1917 the east Chapel was completed.
This is a simple bluestone church with a gable,and relieved by three lancet headed windows and a trefoil window above. The west transept has an elaborate stained glass circular window. The four level Norman tower has a flatter lancet arch headed entrance surmounted by a pair of lancet windows, above which is another trefoil window matching that of the gable. The top level has a pair of openings on each side. The tower has buttresses at all corners and a castillated parapet. This earl~ church in its garden setting completed with cast iron palisade fence on a bluestone base forms an important streetscape element.
