a building of architectural importance, a simple stone church in a derivative form of the Victorian Gothic Revival Style; a building closer to its original appearance than the Anglican Church opposite. The building has historical significance as the original and former Methodist Church and is environmentally valuable through its contribution to the streetscape in the centre of town.

Physical Description

A simple stone church with high pitched corrugated asbestos cement roof in the Victorian Gothic Revival style. The original church is likely to have had a corrugated iron roof.
Note: NATWA assessment shows no windows on the front of the building at the time of assessment.
