Statement of Significance
Church Statement of Significance: A Church in the Early English Gothic style specifically designed by the architect David R Drape to be erected over a number of years and particularly attractive because of the combination of brown local schist, laid as squared rubble, and Harcourt granite dressings. The nave with corner buttresses and western bell cote was erected in 1861, the vestry and gallery in 1862, transepts in 1863, the chancel in 1886 and porch in 1889. Features of the interior are the organ by Fincham and Hobday, installed in 1893, and stained glass, including some of the earliest work of John Lyon, from 1864.

Organ Statement of Significance: A two-manual organ of nine stops built in 1893 by Fincham & Hobday remaining in a remarkably original state, the only changes being the introduction of electric blowing and tuning slides. The instrument, which has an exceptionally high standard of finish, incorporates a finely carved Gothic case in polished kauri pine with attractively diapered facade pipes. The mechanism and pipework of the instrument have been ingeniously accommodated within the constricted space of a small chamber.
