History
The church was designed by Melbourne architects Smith & Watson and built in 1866 by John Taylor. It was opened by the local Rector in November 1866, but was not formally consecrated by the Bishop of Goulburn until 1873.[2]
The church was used until 1977, when a new church was built on the site of the old Anglican rectory. It underwent major restoration in the early 1990s due to the impact of general decay and vandalism.[2]
It is now operated by the Edward River Council as the Multi-Arts Centre, an arts centre and community hall.[2][3]
