    Interior - Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Williamstown

    The current bluestone Church, designed by Melbourne architect Leonard Terry, was finally built at the cost of £600. The foundation stone was laid on 11th February 1871 by Bishop Charles Perry, and the beautiful new bluestone Church building, built on the northside of the old iron construction, was finally opened on 7th October 1874. The construction process was a very significant time in the life of Williamstown, and many local families have stories of where their forebears worshipped, and how they helped create the Church building as it stands today. The building stands structurally unchanged to this day, despite needing some tender loving care.

  • Wesleyan Chapel

    Wesleyan Chapel

    Of architectural and aesthetic significance as an unusual example of a Georgian detailed Wesleyan chapel. The chapel demonstrates an early use of cream brick and a rare use of the local Koonung Creek stone. The chapel is important as a substantially intact 1850s building which has undergone little alteration on the exterior or interior. It has been in continuous use as a chapel since constructed. churchhistorywhitehorsewesleyanheritage From Heritage Site - Woodhouse Grove Wesleyan Chapel

    This shot shows the old stone church in the foreground, opened in 1869 with the 1971 extension beyond the Balfrey. The expanded building is an excellent example of creating a modern space for worship which sensitively adapts the design signature of the past to meet contemporary needs.

  • Derby Cathedral

    Derby Cathedral

    I spoke with an elderly man who was obviously a custodian of the history of this beautiful building. He informed me that the original church was founded by King Edmund I in about 943 as a royal collegiate church; however, no traces of its structure survive. The 212-foot (65 m) tower dates from 1510 to 1530 and was built in the popular Perpendicular Gothic style of the time. Apart from the tower, the cathedral was rebuilt in a classical style to the designs of James Gibbs of 1725, and it was further enlarged in 1972. At the same time, the ciborium was added over the altar. The building, previously known as All Saints' Church, became a cathedral by Order in Council on 1 July 1927.

  • St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church

    St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church

    A departure from the rest of the photos in this gallery, I was attracted to the beautiful architecture and stonework of this building. Catholic migrants from Ireland played a big part in settling the state of Victoria in the mid eighteen hundreds and built the first part of this church in 1869 of locally quarried granite. The second stage (the dominant front section) was completed in 1905, built of brown Glenrowan stone and included the spire .

    Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo, Australia's largest provincial church, is dramatically sited and impressive in scale. Built in the Gothic Revival style, It was designed by Reed, Smart & Tappin in the Decorated Gothic style and built of sandstone and granite. The nave was built in 1896-1901. After a long interval, work recommenced on the cathedral in 1954 and was completed in 1977. The later works were designed by Bates, Smart and McCutcheon, the successor of Reed, Barnes and Tappin. The spire was of lighter construction than that originally designed, being steel framed and clad with a masonry veneer. Sacred Heart Cathedral is 75 metres long and has a ceiling height of 24 metres.
