History

The church is significant primarily because of its strong associations with the important figure archpriest John Joseph Therry (1790–1864), co-founder of the Roman Catholic Church in Australia; champion of the rights of Irish immigrants and convicts; and patron of several church building projects in New South Wales and Tasmania. [1]

The building derives considerable significance from its location in a village square conceived by Therry in 1837, which, although never fully realised, retains a townscape significance value not found elsewhere in New South Wales. [1]

The modest character of the building reflects the needs and requirements of the time and the restrictions imposed by finances and the use of local building materials and techniques. [1]

The church stands in the village square, conceived by Archpriest John Joseph Therry in 1837, the original foundation stone laid on 2 July 1841. [1]

The church was built between 1859–64 and the subdivision streets were named for prominent ecclesiastics of the time. [1]

Description

Located in the north east corner of the square (the centre being subject to clay deposits) it is typical of an Irish village church with additions, such as the vestry with fireplace. Built of solid brick (cement rendered in 1952) with sandstone footing course. Dressed sills and cappings to the buttresses. The brick interior is painted to the dado level. The sanctuary is plastered with interesting stencil work. The rest of the square is now occupied by the new church, primary school and car park. [2] [1]

The Church was cement rendered in 1952. [1]
