ST ANDREW'S UNITING CHURCH - Physical Description 1
St Andrews Church is designed in the Primitive Gothic style and constructed in 1868. Elements of the style include the use of gable roofs and pointed arched windows. Often there is a small round window or oculus that becomes a feature of the gable end, as is the case for St Andrew's. Variations to the style include whether a porch has been attached to one end, and whether the entry is to the side or end of the porch. St Andrew's church adopts the more common form with a gable roofed porch attached to one end and the entry on the side. Variations in building materials are evident across the Bendigo region and the Axedale church is constructed of bluestone in a coursed and snecked rubble. Bluestone is very difficult to shape into dressings or mouldings and generally other types of stone or brick was used for this purpose. The stone used around window and door openings at St Andrew's has been painted. Other variations in the Primitive Gothic style include the treatment of the eaves. At St Andrew's the end walls form parapets which become horizontal at the junction of the roof and wall. The porch was added in matching style in 1962 and constructed of bluestone from a demolished building.
The interior has a timber lined ceiling with exposed scissor trussed roof structure and contains furniture including timber pews. The timber floor has been removed and concrete poured in its place.
