East Maitland. 47 William St. The elegant St Peters Anglican Church which is heritage listed was built in 1885. The Anglican parish here was established in 1834 making it one of the oldest in Australia. The church received a land grant on Stockade Hill and a basic school room and church opened here in 1829. A few years later around 1840 a new brick school, using materials from the Stockade Hill School was constructed on this site in Banks Street. It is possibly built with the oldest red bricks for a school in Australia. In 1897 it became the Parish Hall. The grand sandstone church was designed by architects Cyril Blacket and his father the famous Edmund Blacket architect. The church was completed in 1885. The Vicarage to the south of the church was built in 1860 as the first full time parish vicar was appointed in 1859. It was added to extensively in 1920 with weatherboard additions. There is a Curate’s cottage facing Banks Street built in Edwardian style about 1900.
