<p>St Andrew’s Church of England (Anglican) is opposite the Village Green in the small Tasmanian town of Westbury. The foundation stone was laid in 1836 by Lieutenant George Arthur (1784-1854) and the sandstone brick church was first used in 1841. The nave was designed by the convict architect James Blackburn (1803-1854) in 1840-02. The church was finally consecrated in 1851 by Tasmania’s first Bishop, Francis Russell Nixon (1803-1879). The tower was added in 1859 under the supervision of architect William Henry Clayton (1823-1877). The sanctuary and chancel were completed in 1888 and consecrated in 1890. St Andrew’s is in the Gothic Revival style and features buttresses, lancet windows, a porch, tracery in the east window, and pointed arch doorways. The tower is topped by a crenelated parapet and originally had pinnacles but these were removed following serious storm damage in 1877.</p>

Holy Trinity Catholic Church is in the small Tasmanian town of Westbury. The building of the bluestone church began in 1869 under the direction of the town’s first resident Catholic priest, Father James Hogan (1825-1899), who had arrived in 1850. Holy Trinity was consecrated in 1874 and the clock tower was added in 1901 as a memorial to Hogan. The cruciform church was designed by Henry Hunter (1832-1892) in the Gothic Revival style, in particular the Decorated Gothic style originally popular in England from c. 1270-1380. The church features buttresses, lancet windows, rose windows, a crenelated parapet and pointed corner finials on the tower, window tracery, and pointed arch doorways.
Irish-born James Hogan helped the convicted Irish nationalist activist John Mitchel (1815-1875) escape Tasmania in 1853.
