Description:
St Matthews Anglican Church is a heritage-listed church and cemetery, built from 1867 to 1869. The church is a simple Gothic-styled brick building located high on a hill. It is rectangular in shape, as are the skillion vestry and gabled porch. Rendered walls of hand-made bricks are supported by buttresses and rest on stone foundations. The steeply pitched gabled roof has corrugated iron laid over the original shingles. A bellcote surmounts the front gable. The porch and vestry doorways and windows are lancet shaped. Internal walls are painted and the lined roof is supported by exposed beams and trusses. The red cedar pews are original. Also known as Grovely Church, as it is within the Parish of Grovely (a former Brisbane suburb name). The Church was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.
