St. Augustine’s Church Salisbury

The St. Augustine’s Chapel in Salisbury is a heritage listed building that was completed in 1857. Surprisingly building commenced in 1851 when the foundation stone was laid but it face a few problems and construction was delayed because of the Victorian Gold Rush. I reckon a whole lot of people decided they would try their fortunes intestate for awhile. It seems that it wasn’t the luckiest project as both the architect Walter Hunter and the builder Peter Walsh died within the first year.

This is a picture taken from the rear of the church, and I reckon that the crosses look very Gothic. I also thought it strange that there was two of them.

The front of the church is also rather unique in that the tower is similar to that of a small castle.

I once attended a wedding in this chapel and it was very beautiful inside. Unfortunately there was no information displayed anywhere in regards to hiring it out so I am not sure if it is still used for weddings and such.

This Roman Catholic church can be found on Commercial Road Salisbury, next to the newer St. Augustine’s Church and school.

Make my day and shout me a beer.
