Physical Description
A small compact church designed in compact crucifix form with gable, parapet walls, small hexagonal sacristy, arched windows and a castellated rendered entrance portico. The church is a good example of the English (Federation) Gothic style of architecture with red face bricks and decorative rendered bordering. The compact bold three dimensional form is particularly striking and gives the building landmark qualities. The building is the only remaining structure set in the railway siding area.
History
The church was consecrated and opened in 1906 on land given by the Venn
family. The three leadlight windows were dedicated to Harry Whittall Venn
and his wife Charlotte. The original organ is still in use and also the original
kerosene lamps. The brass bell outside the church is dedicated to the
memory of soldiers who died in the World Wars.
