Detail of the War Memorial Window in the Vestibule of Christ Church, Anglican Church - Central Springs Road, Daylesford

            Built high, overlooking the township of Daylesford on the Central Springs Road, Christ Church - the Daylesford Anglican Church - is an early and good example of architect Leonard Terry's church design dating from 1862 or 1863.

It is built in the early English style, and Christ Church never received its intended tower at the south-east corner, but was extended by Inskip and Butler in 1896, with a particularly pleasing chancel of sheer red brick, external surfaces but Picturesque massing. 

Christ Church, Daylesford, is of historical significance, being product of an early gold seeking community. It was built in 1862 and 1863 and then extended in 1896. The original portion was funded by the local people under direction of Mr W. E. Stanbridge, and the same person, for some years Member of Legislative Council of Victoria, bequeathed the money to add the 1896 chancel. 

The church contains a George Fincham organ installed in 1871. 

The church is of social significance in that it has, for 150 years, been an important part of the lives of a significant proportion of the people of town and district, both in the religious development, and in marking the rites of passage. It is one of the landmarks of the town which is a prominent tourist destination for its spa and mineral springs and historical memories. The church is an early example of architect, Leonard Terry's, church design.
