The Former Woodford Catholic Church - River Road, Woodford
Built in a stripped back, Gothic style, the former Catholic Church on River Road in the tiny country town of Woodford is a classic example of an unassuming and elegant country church.
Although now used for commercial premises, the former Woodford Catholic Church remains intact and maintains many of its original Gothic features including its parapeted gables, the vertical element of the cross on the skyline and the tracery around the lancet windows. All of these are typical Gothic architectural features. It also still retains its original Gothic style stained glass windows.
Sadly, with no foundation stone or memorial plaque it is impossible to date the church, and I can find no record of it.
Woodford is a very small township in the Western District of Victoria, located nine kilometres north of Warrnambool. The town is home to Woodford Primary School which opened on the first of May 1854. Woodford Post Office opened on 1 January 1854, and closed sometime in 1975. It's population consists of only a few hundred people these days.
