Statement of Significance
Church Statement of Significance
A polychrome brick church designed by Edmund George Ovey and built in 1883-87. The exterior is of particular interest for its elaborate diaper patterned brickwork and polychromatic voussoirs and the apse focussing upon a three-light window. The interior retains its timber fittings, stained glass and Fincham pipe organ of 1887. The crenellated tower was added in 1922.
Church classified Local 13/07/1989
Organ Statement of Significance
A two-manual organ of 17 stops built in 1886-7 by George Fincham and the first built by him in Victoria employing tubular-pneumatic key and stop actions. Subsequent alterations have included the installation of new underactions and a new console, and the obliteration of the diapering of the facade pipes by gold paint. The instrument is a fine and complete example of a Fincham organ of the period with the original tonal scheme surviving intact.
