Contents

Northampton, one of the oldest towns in Western Australia, is classified as a 'historic town' by the National Trust of Australia (WA), with over 200 heritage listings in the shire, including 30 which are listed on the State Register. [4] Holy Trinity Anglican Church was added to the State Register of Heritage Places on the 15th August, 2003. [5]

Description

Constructed of locally sourced granite, the church building serves as a 'fine example of a Federation Gothic Revival style church,' and has been deemed to be of exceptional significance to the town's heritage. [2] [6]

Plans for the construction of the church were passed by February of 1908, [7] with construction beginning in April, and the majority of the work completed around September. [8] It was licensed for use that same month, [9] and then officially consecrated by Bishop Riley on the 18th of January, 1909. [10]

The church remained part of the Diocese of Perth until 1928 when the boundaries between Perth and the North West were redrawn. Northampton (along with the territories of Greenough, Geraldton, and Mullewa) were given over to the North West diocese in a effort to provide them with a more stable base of operations. [11] [12]
