    St. Augustine's (Catholic) Church-Keilor - Physical Description 1

    Description

    St Augustine's is the most prominent nineteenth century church in Keilor, dominating the high ground on the east bank of the Maribyrnong River, and so somewhat distant from the centre of population at the time of its construction. The church is constructed in Gothic style of locally-quarried bluestone in uncoursed random rubble with slate roof, octagonal bell tower with brick quoins and deep, stepped buttresses. The interior is a simple rendered and white painted composition with the exposed roof beams and timber pews (19th century?) providing contrasts. The northern end has a Gothic-arched blind panel which once opened into an earlier timber chancel, since removed. A modern basalt rubble and iron fence and scrolled metal gates set in old cast-iron pillars.
