St James’ Church

TIME : 2016/2/18 14:24:02

Built from convict-made bricks, Sydney’s oldest church (1819) is widely considered to be architect Francis Greenway's masterpiece. It was originally designed as a courthouse, but the brief changed and the cells became the crypt. Check out the dark-wood choir loft, the sparkling copper dome, the crypt and the 1950s stained-glass ‘Creation Window’.

Free classical concerts happen at 1.15pm on Wednesdays between March and December. See the website or call for details on daily services.
