    ST JAMES ANGLICAN PARISH CHURCH - Physical Description 1

    Designed in freely modified Gothic style, St James Anglican Parish Church is of face red brick, with contrasting rendered bands, window dressings and plinth, and a gabled Marseilles pattern tiled roof. Surmounting the ridge of the roof is a metal clad fleche with a flared base. Tall narrow windows are arranged in groups on the north and west elevations, separated by deep rendered brick mullions. Those on the west gable end have trefoil bas-relief window heads. Other features include a pointed arched doorway and half-timbered gabled end on the north elevation.
    
    Internally, there are exposed timber trusses, in the Medieval manner, and timber lined ceiling. These are juxtaposed with face brick walls and wide Tudor arches, similar to North and Williams' Trinity College Chapel, Melbourne University.
    
    Alterations include the installation of a large skylight on the north facing roof slope.
