Description

St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Skipton, was designed by architects Davidson and Henderson of Geelong and built in 1871-2. The bluestone building is in the Gothic Revival style and features pointed arch windows and a square bell tower with a gargoyle on each corner. The ears of the gargoyles suggest that they may be based on kangaroos.
