Statement of Significance
Church Statement of Significance: A bluestone Gothic church of 1863 with brick detailing allegedly designed by Rev F E Stephenson. Brick transepts were added to the design of one Gardiner in 1902. The organ, installed in 1930, was built in 1877 by George Fincham for St Peter's, Ballarat.

Organ Statement of Significance:
A two-manual organ of 15 stops built in 1877 by George Fincham for St Peter's Anglican Church, Ballarat and installed in its present location in 1930 by Hill, Norman & Beard. This is a substantial example of Fincham's earlier work which remains largely intact apart from the removal of the great Mixture and replacement by a second Open Diapason and retaining its original action and three-tower case. It is the only remaining 19th century organ in the suburb.
