This stunning, 1904 English Gothic-Style Red Brick, church, with a steeply pitched slate roof has an east-west orientation and a 100km views over Daylesford and much of Central Victoria.
An octagonal Bell Tower is castellated and trimmed with gargoyles and the Spire is clad in copper and surmounted by a weather vane. It dominates the Western flanks of Wombat Hill. A bay containing the entrance vestibule with a pyramidal roof, finial and castellated parapet completes its picturesque, asymmetric composition of the building.
The imposing red west facing façade of the Clegg & Miller designed building, addresses Camp Street and is at the centre of Daylesford’s ecclesiastical district. A vestry is located in a bay to the rear of the building. The entrance is via a porch with an arched opening; a secondary entrance is located in a delightful vestibule bay on the south side.
The interior has a sloping floor, a polished timber alter and an historic E. Cornwell Cook pipe organ at the east end. It comprises the following principal spaces; the belfry, the vestibule, the main church, a vestry, the front porch and south porch. An imposing and very rare, brick octagonal-plan chimney, with rendered cappings is located on the roof of the vestry.
The face red brickwork to external walls is generally of Stretcher bond, tuck-pointed, with English bond found on the base of the tower. Cast iron ventilators are located in external walls. The tower has large rectilinear louvered timber vents, with rendered quoining, on all its octagonal elevations.
A single timber door at the rear and a double timber door on the south side both have rendered quoining, stone sills and iron furniture. The windows on the south and north elevations are pointed arch windows with simple rendered tracery and hood moulds, diamond paned leadlight panels with stained glass along the margins. The windows are separated by simple, stepped form, brick buttresses.
The front gable has pointed tripartite arch windows,
quoining and moulds. Windows immediately flanking the entrance are smaller, and timber-framed.
A granite memorial plaque commemorating the laying of the foundation stone by Mrs. Jessie
Leggatt on 9 December, 1903 is the centerpiece of the front porch.
