    For sure, this is the true English Anglican styled church - there are even a few around here (Connecticut) with the same styling, real olde world. A classic!

    That 19th century European style always has a mystery to its Architectural styling.

    No one is sure who designed it?

      It was built on land owned by Simeon Pearce and it is thought it was probably designed by himself. Edmund Blacket is thought to have designed the internal fittings and was associated with some latter aspects of the building.

    Lots of additions over time to that church. It looks like it will last awhile.

      Yes, they have extended the church a number of times but they have always been sympathetic additions.

    Avoca - a very Irish name.
