Church buildings
The present church was consecrated on 22 November 1874. Its architect was Charles Blachmann whose design was inspired by the Gothic Revival Movement's later phase.
Built of bluestone and positioned in the traditional Christian architectural east-west direction, the church consists of a nave lit by clerestory windows, an aisle on each side, a chancel at the eastern end and a choir/organ loft at the western end.
The ceiling is wood panelled throughout. The nave is flanked by columns with leaf capitals. The timber used for the interior joinery and fittings is cedar and blackwood.
Stained glass windows adorn the chancel, the organ loft and the nave. The organ was built by Robert Mackenzie in 1874; it is a pipe organ with two manuals and pedal board. The church which features a sloping floor seats around 300 - 350 people.
The hall, also built of bluestone, was erected in 1863/64 as a southward extension of the original church, to accommodate the overflow of worshippers on feast days and to serve as a school building both on Sundays and weekdays. Its architect was Friedrich Kawerau.
When the first church was demolished to make room for a larger structure, the hall assumed its present free-standing character and was reduced in length at its northern end. The hall is now the oldest building on the site.
The present manse was built in 1890 to replace the earlier corrugated iron and brick residence dating back to 1855. Though its façade has a rendered finish rather than bluestone, its slate roof and Gothic decorative elements blend with the other two buildings on the site.
All three together form a distinctive and unique precinct of nineteenth-century church architecture.
Church, hall and manse are classified by the National Trust of Australia (Vic.) and are included on the Heritage Register of the Victorian Government.
