ST JAMES CATHOLIC CHURCH - Physical Description 1
St James Catholic church is designed in the Gothic Revival style and was built in 1931, replacing an earlier church of 1892 that was destroyed in a storm. It is constructed with a timber frame and weatherboard cladding. It is believed to contain some fittings including the organ and altar that were salvaged. Elements of the Gothic Revival style include the use of gable roofs and the pointed arch windows in this case executed in timber. The window to the gable end is divided into four pointed arches of graduating height. The design includes some domestic timber detailing of bracketed eaves and gable end collar tie and finial and a bracketed hood over the front doors. There is a large sanctuary and vestry at the rear of the church. Unusually the front doors open straight into the main body of the church. The church is surrounded by mature cypresses.
