History and Architecture:

During 1869 services were held in the Old Fellows hall. Erected over a period between 1870 and 1875, the design was adapted from a church in Ireland. Construction was by James Fitzpatrick.

The Foundation stone was laid on 25 April 1870 by Sir William Foster Stawell Chief Justice of the Colony of Victoria.

The architects were Pickersgill and later Rogers and the design is based on a church in Ireland. The building comprises a nave with chancel and has an entrance porch and tower with spire on the north facade. It is constructed of local orange-coloured bricks and has cream brick quoinwork decoration.
