Transforming Lives: Give to Make a Difference

The church was constructed after plans were drawnup for a Gothic style building in 1884 and the building was completed in 1884. The church was opened in 1885. By the 1920s after work on the Rectory wasfinally finished, the focus then returned to a needto include a Sanctuary and Chancel within the
church building. Prior to this time a temporary timber extension to the Nave had sufficed but was always felt to be inadequate. The extension to the church was started in 1929 after engaging well-known
architect Louis Williams. The plan included a bell tower above the Chancel,
and the foundation stone for this extension was laid in November, 1929 by Wangaratta Rt. Rev John Stephen Hart. This was the time of the great depression and there was much discussion, consideration and debate over the finishing of the building. The actual tower cost an extra 400 pounds
to complete. In the 1960s further changes took place. The Stribling family presented the church with a fine pipe organ built by Mr Stephen Laurie. The organ has since been classified by the National Trust. During
this time, the current Vestry and a new Baptistry were also built. When Louis Williams had drawn up the plans for the Sanctuary and Chancel, he had also indicated
a small Lady Chapel in his drawings and sketches. Eventually in 1978 the Chapel came into being.
