History and Architecture:
A heritage-listed former Anglican church it was opened and consecrated by the Rt. Rev. William Broughton on 4 July 1850. Built by William Mobbs in 1847. A small sandstone Victorian Academic Gothic former church with west porch, a nave featuring lancet windows, a bellcote, chancel and later vestry erected at the direction of the Right Reverend W. G. Broughton, first Bishop of Sydney. The land was donated in 1847 by William Mobbs.
The masonry work was carried out by Richard Marshall, who quarried and dressed the stone on his own property near Jenkins Road, Carlingford.
In 1980, the church building was sold and the congregation moved to a new church of the same name in Moseley Street.
