| Planning History: | | Registered as Victorian heritage | Last updated on - May 11, 2010 What is significant? The St Andrew's Church Precinct consists of a graveyard (1843), school house (1857), church (1857 and 1962), parish hall (1925), lych gate (post 1926), gate post (1842-50) and vicarage (1928). A number of objects are associated with the church including furniture designed for the building. Ten acres of land were set aside as a Church of England Reserve in the Brighton Estate planned by Henry Dendy and J. B. Were in 1841. This site was located in a small township of fashionable crescents, between the outer crescent and desirable allotments which ran to Port Phillip Bay. An Episcopal Church, erected to the south of the site in 1842, was used as a church and school, however the formation of Church Street isolated it from the main site soon after construction. This site was not conveyed to the church in 1843 and subsequent development took place on the remaining land. In 1843 a two acre graveyard, established to the north-east of the first building, was consecrated and the first burial took place the following year, well before the opening of the Brighton General Cemetery in 1855. More than three hundred burials took place, mostly before 1860, and the graves of many district pioneers are located in this graveyard. The last burial took place in 1948, however an adjoining garden of memory, established in the 1950s, remains in use. An ironstone church, designed by architect Charles Laing, was erected to the north-west of this graveyard in 1850. By 1857 the congregation had outgrown this building and parishioner and architect Charles Webb, and his partner Thomas Taylor, were commissioned to design a new bluestone church, school house and vicarage. The 1850 church was demolished and some of the stone used in the construction of the T-shaped school house building. This school continued to operate until 1875 when students were relocated to a new school in Brighton. The school house was then used for Sunday School and other church activities. In the subsequent years Brighton developed as a popular middle class suburb and by 1886 necessary additions were made to the church. Large sandstone transepts and a chancel were added to the existing bluestone church nave by architect Lloyd Tayler. A north wing was also added to the school house, creating a symmetrical H-shaped building. This was either undertaken in 1866 by Charles Webb or in 1886 by Lloyd Tayler. Webb called tenders for additions to the Church of England schools in Brighton that year, and this may have been this addition. Designed in a Gothic Revival style, the symmetrical school house is constructed of random coursed, locally quarried ironstone and is roofed in slate. It has projecting gabled end wings, a central projecting entry porch and render detailing that includes parapets, finials, angle buttresses, window and door surroun | | 14 Jun 2006 | Community Fac-Alts&Adds to Bld Only Erection of signage (illuminated), umbrellas, planter boxes and screens/barriers to an existing dining area in a Heritage Overlay | (Source: Bayside Council, reference no: 425/2006) | | 16 Sep 2009 | Advertising Signs Illuminated business identification signage | (Source: Bayside Council, reference no: 463/2009) | | 01 Oct 2009 | Advertising Signs Advertising signage | (Source: Bayside Council, reference no: 501/2009) | | 08 Aug 2011 | 1 Dwelling - Alts & Adds - Heritage Buildings and works (glass canopy) in a Heritage Overlay | (Source: Bayside Council, reference no: 456/2011) | | 08 Feb 2013 | Transfer of Licence | (Source: Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation, reference no: 30331A11) | | 07 Sep 2015 | Education Centre-Alts/Adds to Bld Only Alterations to an existing education centre | (Source: Bayside Council, reference no: 564/2015) | | 17 May 2017 | Education Centre-Alts/Adds to Bld Only | (Source: Bayside Council, reference no: 283/2017) | | 02 Jun 2020 | Transfer of Licence | (Source: , reference no: ) |
