It was built in 1933, possibly as means of providing work during the Depression, and was designed in a simple restrained Gothic Revival style using typical materials for its time. The interior of the church is substantially intact and contributes to the overall integrity of the building. Integrity is demonstrated by the internal space, roof structure, battened wall linings, timber dado linings, interior doors with gothic arches, arched entry to the sacristy, windows, light fittings, pews and ecclesiastical fixtures and fittings. No architect has yet been associated with the design. The present church replaced an earlier timber church on this site which in turn replaced another on a site near the Inverleigh Cemetery. Mature Cupressus macrocarpa (Monterey Cypress Trees) surround the site. The building is largely intact, retains an excellent degree of integrity and is in good condition. How is it Significant?
