| A listed - State Significance STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The Catholic Church of S. S. Peter and Paul was erected in 1864 from coursed basalt with freestone dressings. The Church is a scholarly example of the gothic revival based upon Pugin's principles, and a notable work of William Wilkinson Wardell, the celebrated ecclesiastical architect responsible for the Catholic Church building program in Victoria from 1858-1878. The church, with the unusual double bellcore and simple ornamentation, is one of the few parish churches in Victoria completed according to Wardells plans. The triple lancet stain glass window at the east end by Melbourne craftsmen Ferguson and Urie is of note.
