Description
The Catholic Church of the Holy Cross in the small rural Western Australian town of Morawa was built to the design of Monsignor John Cyril Hawes. The stone church features bell turret, dome, and Gothic pointed arches. Writing for the Cathedral Chronicle, Hawes said that the design was inspired by 13th century churches in the Sienna area of Tuscany in Italy. This was in part due to the similarity in climate.
