Statement of Significance

Moderate architectural significance for style and architect Howard Evans.

Physical Description

The three bedroom home includes the Rector's study and lounge. The room features large bay windows. The rectory joins a small hall which has a meeting area that can be partitioned off and has kitchen facilities. The predominant features of the place include the forecourt vehicular approach, the symetrical facade layout (accentuated by the half hexagonal loungeroom and protrusion), the verandah, the stone facework and quoining. Victorian Regency is the style form here.' 'The roof sheeting is an unsympathetic alteration, detracting from the place's heritage.

History

This was the first official home of the Anglican Rector (Canon CE Grser was the first resident rector). Sunday School, confirmationclasses, Vestry, Guild Dorcas, Mother's Union meetings and other social functions were held in the school room which ws later rebuilt into a small hall (1957).
