Description
This is a circa 1890 former Episcopal church and associated manse.
The church is a small rectangular building with a lower gabled vestry adjoined to the south. It is constructed of rendered brick with timber tracery, brick crowstepped gables, and brick cross finials to the west-facing gables. It has a corrugated metal roof, while the vestry has grey slate. The east elevation features a gabled porch with a pointed-arched doorway, now overgrown. The north elevation has a pointed-arched window with two-light plate tracery set within a gabled dormerhead, a window to the left, and a very small window to the outer left. The west elevation showcases a pointed-arched window with three-light plate tracery, a vestry to the right with a window, a door, and a window to its south. The south elevation has the vestry adjoined to the left and a window to the right.
The interior is timber-panelled with timber pews. The traceried windows contain stained glass, and a north-facing window is dated 1897; some coloured glass is also present.
The manse is a single-storey building with a later rectangular block added to the north. It is constructed of painted rubble (original) and painted brick (later block), with projecting painted cills. It has segmental-arched openings to the porch and north block. The south elevation is seven bays wide, incorporating a later gabled porch with a boarded door, decorative iron hinges, a window, timber decorative cusped bargeboarding, a kingpost detail, and a spike finial. Regular fenestration is present, with gables and spike finials over windows in the penultimate bays to the left and right. The west elevation is M-gabled, with windows in each gable. The north elevation features four regularly-spaced windows. The east elevation possesses an L-plan and a painted brick flat-roofed porch in the re-entrant angle.
Sash and case windows are found throughout, with 12-pane glazing to the south block and 4-pane glazing to the porch and north block. Coped skews are present on the north block, and painted brick stacks are on the south block, with gableheads to the east and west, and a ridge between the second and third bays to the left and right. Small purple slates cover the south block, while grey slates are used on the north block. Each stack has an octagonal can. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present.
A very low curved rubble wall with concrete coping runs along the south, surmounted by very fine iron arrowhead railings and a similarly detailed gate.
