ST. PAUL’S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Title

ST. PAUL’S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Description

Erected in 1854-1857, St. Paul’s (formerly St. Andrew’s) is an elegant example of the Gothic Revival style. The design of the church shows the influence of the Ecclesiological Movement which favoured plans based on English medieval parish churches. Architect William Thomas’s use of historically correct ornament, superb interior woodwork, side porches and a tower with a striking stone spire also reflects such models. Except for the later deepening of the chancel, and the addition of clerestory and stained-glass windows, St. Paul’s has survived with relatively little alteration.
