The place exhibits style characteristics of church buildings valued by sectors of the community. The place is typical of other buildings of it's nature in the state during the same period. Howard Evans was the architect.
This large, majestic church is built in the Gothic style, with a high raked ceiling and vestry room attached. It houses a large memorial neo-gothic, stained glass eastern window and a smaller memorial on the northern window. The predominant features of the place include the parapet gable, the rose wheel window, the wall buttressing, the high pitched roof, the double pointed arch window and the string course moulding at sill height. The style is distinctly Federation Gothic. The painted render and the removed ridge ornamentation evoke a moulded architectural expression conpared with the rugged nature of the original face stonework. The former memorial tower (erected 1914- demolished 1926) style was Inter-War Old English.
This was the first Anglican Church in Beverley townsite. It cost 475 pounds and was consecrated by Reverend Parry on 30th November 1892. The Chancel and Vestry were added in 1904 at a cost of 290 pounds. A memorial tower to Mr WH de Lisle, added in 1914, was too heavy for the foundation and was removed in 1926. The Lytch Gate was a War Commemoration and was dedicated on Remembrance Day 11 November 1956. The Porch was added in 1963 in memory of Mena Smith.
