History and Architecture:
The Garrison Church is a heritage-listed active Anglican church building located at Argyle Street in the inner city Sydney suburb of Millers Point. It was designed by Henry Ginn (1st stage), Edmund Blacket (2nd stage) and built from 1840 to 1846 by Edward Flood and George Patton.
The church was constructed from locally quarried sandstone. The church building was designed by Henry Ginn. Colonial architect Edmund Blacket made some enhancements to the building in the period 1855-1859,[2] including adding the wine-glass shaped pulpit, and the north-eastern vestry.
Around 1855 it was decided to enlarge the temporary structure by erecting the outer permanent walls of stone. The advice of Edmund Blacket was sought. His plans were approved and the completed works with spire would cost £9,500.
William Grant Broughton, first Bishop of Australia, had a residence in Bettington Street, and used Holy Trinity as his Parish Church. For some years this was the official Parish Church for Government House. Bishop Broughton appointed Mr. Cowper, Major Barney (commanding the Royal Engineers) and Robert Campbell, Jnr., Esq., to supervise the erection of the Church.
