Church

This building is a hall designed by Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth and Paul, constructed between 1965 and 1966, with principal architect William Kininmonth and project architect Tom Duncan. It is located adjacent to an 1857 rectangular-plan rubble former Free Church, which has been altered for use as a gymnasium and hall. The modern hall, built in 1915, and the main hall from 1958 are linked to the southwest of the site.

The modern church features a roughly rectangular plan with a diagonally cut northeast corner and rounded edges, situated prominently on a corner site. It has a roofline with swept-up fins, constructed with dry dash render, brick, and laminated timber beams. A monolithic concrete cross is set in a shallow concave niche facing the side road, supporting a recessed porch at the northeast corner entrance. The deep boarded timber eaves sit above a narrow horizontal clerestory. The north elevation, which includes the sanctuary and vestry, has a double-height convex apse with pointed fins and five vertical rendered buttresses facing a semi-enclosed courtyard, with large timber frames holding continuous plate glass. The overhanging timber boarded eaves are raked up at a 45-degree angle.

Inside, the design is inspired by Scandinavian aesthetics, featuring exposed laminated beams made from a composite of framing timbers, including columns and a timber-lined ceiling. The seating is raked, with long varnished light timber pews. The architect designed the pulpit, font, and furniture, all in varnished light timber. The windows are timber framed, and the building has a flat roof.

The 1857 former church and halls consist of a rectangular-plan, squared snecked rubble structure originally built as a Free Church, which is linked to the modern church by a glazed link to the southeast and was converted to a hall and gymnasium in 1966. It has a pointed arched doorway to the north, with flanking pointed arched windows that are blocked. The east and west sides feature two wide bays with squared coursed rubble and blocked pointed arched windows. The 1915 hall is a single-storey rectangular-plan rendered structure, positioned at a right angle to the 1857 church, obscuring its south elevation, and has been subdivided into offices and storage rooms. The 1958 hall, located at the southwest corner of the site and connected internally to the 1915 hall, is also rectangular in plan, with square windows to the east and continuous glazing to the west, topped with a pitched slate roof.
