The place contains elements of one of the oldest church buildings in Western Australia; The place is associated with European settlers of the Swan Valley; The place is closely associated with James Stirling's first exploration of the Swan River; The place is a fine example of the Old Colonial Gothic Picturesque style; The place is important as an example of structures that were typical of the local architecture built by European settlers between 1829 and 1849 that replicated their way of life in Britain. The adjacent residence and cloister have been assessed as having little significance.
