Description
Edithmead Mission Church is a 'tin tabernacle' mission church that was originally built as a school in East Brent and moved to Edithmead in 1919.
The church is constructed of timber on a brick base and is clad in corrugated galvanised iron, featuring timber windows and an interior. It has a simple rectangular plan with a small porch on the eastern side.
The exterior consists of a straightforward rectangular building topped with a pitched roof, which includes an eastern porch and lean-to, a central roof turret, and a small belfry at the western end. The roof is adorned with decorative iron ridge pieces and a fleur-de-lys finial. The porch has a chevron boarded south door, while the eastern elevation has six windows, the north side has four (including the lean-to), and there is one small window on the eastern gable. All windows are modern timber, featuring four fixed panes and two opening lights at the top, except for the fixed window on the eastern gable.
Inside, the church has pine match boarded walls and ceilings, which are painted, along with wooden floorboards. There is a fitted timber cupboard in the south-east corner and two small iron brackets above each window. The interior includes simple bench pews, a lectern, a dais, and an altar, which are not fixed in place. The door frames are stop-chamfered, and the internal chevron boarded doors match the entrance door.
