Physical Description

Single storey random stone and buttressed church and stone church hall which sits separately on the north eastern corner of the site. The church façade has two projections which are crowned with crenellations and have pointed arched entrances and pairs of timber doors. Between these two entrances is the central faceted bay with the foundation stone. The steeply pitched gable roof has been replaced with corrugated asbestos sheet cladding. There are leadlight arched windows which have feature red and green glazing. There are weatherboard additions to the south and eastern sides. The random stone and zincalume gable roof church hall has been built similar, though simpler in both proportion and a style, to the church. The façade has rendered steps between two projecting entrances and a central recessed arch with three tall timber windows.

History

Hampton Road was originally called Prison Road. It derives its name from John Stephen Hampton (1810-1869), the Governor of WA from 1862-68. He was previously Comptroller of Convicts in Tasmania. His son, G. E. Hampton, was Acting Comptroller-General of the Fremantle Convict Establishment.
St Paul's Anglican Church was designed by architect J H Eales and constructed in 1905.
This place was identified by the Fremantle Society in 1979/80 as being of cultural heritage significance. (Coded: Purple: "Of architectural and historic significance in its own right")
