architecture, built in 1856 to serve the growing
population of the area.
Designed with a distinctive Gothic Revival style,
it has been a focal point for worship,

for over a century and a half.

of spiritual significance but also as a heritage
and community asset, listed for its architectural

congregation keen to bring changes to the church
so that it can better welcome the community
and provide space for the creatives
of the community.
