Description
The church of Our Lady of Mt Carmel and Sts Peter and Paul is in the small rural Western Australian town of Mullewa. The church was built between 1920 and 1927 to the design of Monsignor John Cyril Hawes, who was the priest at Mullewa. His design for the church changed following a study tour to France, Spain and Italy in 1923, and Hawes stated that the style was inspired by twelfth-century churches found in southern France. In particular, the west front to the Mullewa church with its rounded arch, columns, and bas-relief sculpture is based on the entry portal to the Church of St Trophime at Arles.
