History and Architecture:
The Church was constructed in 1873–1874 on land donated in 1870 by George Thorn of Ipswich. Prior to this, services were held on the verandahs of the former Court House (c.1853) (now Ye Olde Court House Restaurant) and the Grandview Hotel (c.1852). It was designed by James Furnival and built in 1873; it was extended in 1924 to a design by Lange Leopold Powell.
An octagonal spire stands on the southwest end of the ridge of a steep gabled roof, clad in asbestos cement slates. The spire, with pinnacle clad in smaller slates, has a lancet louvered vent to each face. All windows in the original church and chancel are lancet shaped.
A plaque reads, "This Church was dedicated by The Right Reverend R.E. Wicks Bishop Administrator on Sunday, 7th Septewber 1980 RECTOR The Reverend A B Gate CHURCHWARDENS Mrs. L M Stromiloff Mr P M Bishop, ARCHITECT Lund Hutton Ryan Morton Pty. Ltd BUILDER Washington Constructions Co Pty Ltd".
