PARISH

The Parish is comprised of the suburbs of Milton, Auchenflower, Paddington and Rosalie, a densely populated inner-city area.  It has its origins in the earliest years of Brisbane’s settlement.  Christ Church is a heritage listed building, with old world charm.  It has changed little since the 1880s and is a good example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture in strong Australian mode.  The timber was hauled from the Brisbane Valley to build it after the first church was destroyed in a storm. 

St Alban the Martyr’s Church has a wonderful interior space and good acoustics, built in the early 1920s, it is an excellent example of a church built in the full swing of the Anglo Catholic revival of the time.  It contains some fine ecclesiastical objects and has a powerful atmosphere
