Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Vicarage and Parish Hall - Physical Description 1
The Holy Trinity Anglican Church, vicarage and hall were designed by architects Carleton & Carleton and constructed by McLennan Brothers builders.
The church is a neo-Gothic, red brick and render building with a dark terracotta tiled roof The roof comprises a series of steeply pitched gables with rendered cappings, and the gable ends have pointed arched windows with geometric tracery with diamond pattern glazing. A squat red brick tower is situated at the comer, for which a spire appears to have been originally designed but never executed.
The adjacent red brick, two-storey vicarage is in a domestic Tudor style and has multi-paned doublehung sash windows with rendered quoining and a tall brick chimney with chimney pots.
The hall is designed in a more contemporary interpretation of Gothic, and is constructed of clinker brick with a low-pitched roof concealed behind a parapet. The moulded pointed arched entrance is located within a rendered porch surmounted by a parapet gable which projects forward from the facade.
