Statement of Significance
A prominently sited Gothic church designed by Warrnambool architect Andrew Kerr and opened in 1875, comprising a six-bay nave erected above a schoolroom, and transepts added in 1885. The main facade includes a five-light traceried window and tall buttressed tower to the south-west, and is striking, if somewhat infelicitous in appearance. The church was internally rebuilt in 1920-22 following a fire.
