Building commenced in 1877 with a foundation stone being laid. When it was formally opened on Friday 24 May 1878, the church was unfinished - the windows were covered in with calico, the interior walls unplastered and the church lacked doors. Interior fittings were temporary. For this reason Christ Church was not formally consecrated until 1893. The church was heritage listed in 1999.
It was late afternoon when I took this shot & the setting sun gave the sandstone stonework an amazing beautiful glow
I love these old churches- both for the beauty of their architecture and for the steadfast determination of the believers who built them. The light is truly beautiful here. fav
