Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009
The Holy Trinity Church and the Roman Catholic complex is of historical, social and architectural significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe. Historically, the 1860s church dates to the earliest phase of development in the township, has been an important place of worship for the Roman Catholic congregation since 1867, and has evolved over time to meet the requirements of the congregation, including through provision of a presbytery, the new school building and extensions to the parish hall and the church itself. The association of the presbytery with Catholic Archbishop Daniel Mannix is also of interest. The complex additionally is of social significance for the Catholic congregation of Queenscliff, given its long-standing role in the community. Architecturally, the Holy Trinity Church is a fine example of primitive-style early-Romanesque ecclesiastical architecture, a relatively uncommon style in Victoria. The rendered walls with raised quoins are visually striking. The church also exhibits externally a range of early medieval characteristics including arched window heads, buttresses, parapeted gable end walls, and the distinctive square, buttressed tower with rendered pilasters and high pitched pyramidal roof. The double fronted and verandahed timber presbytery, and the timber church hall of simple form and detailing, albeit prominent within the streetscape, also contribute to the architectural values and heritage character of the complex. |
