Statement of Significance

St Aidan's is an example of a small parish church in the Presbyterian tradition. The siting of the building on one corner of an intersection of roads has environmental value. The building provides a link through changing church structures to earlier separate denominations.
The church is of environmental significance in its position at the corner of an intersection. It is architecturally significant through its role played in the evolution of church structures, being a typical Presbyterian parish church.
