Victorian Vestibule Tiles of St. Peter's Church of England - Sturt Street, Ballarat
These elegant tiles may be found in the vestibule of St. Peter's Church of England in Ballarat.
St. Peter's Church of England in Ballarat's main boulevard, Sturt Street, is an early and simple bluestone church which is given architectural interest by its elaborately detailed, later tower.
The imposing tower was commenced in 1864 to designs of architect C. D. Cuthbert in early English Gothic Revival style. Later additions include the west transept, which was completed in 1870, the tower which was completed in 1891, and east chapel which was completed in 1917.
The tower is very elaborately detailed with a castellated parapet, paired belfry windows and trefoil windows, a motif used in the nave gable above the lancel windows.
To this day, it still stands behind its original iron palisade fence.
