Background

History

St Patrick's was built between 1821 and 1827, and designed by John Slater. A baldachino was erected inside the church in 1953.

Architecture

Inside the church are galleries on three sides, supported by cast iron columns. The area under the west gallery has been partitioned to form a separate area. The plaster ceiling is segmental and panelled. At the centre is a roundel carved with foliage, and surrounded by a Greek key border. At the east end is a baldachino surrounded by large Corinthian columns and an elaborate entablature. On the east wall above the altar is a large painting of the Crucifixion executed in about 1834 by Nicaise de Keyser of Antwerp. On each side of the baldachino are niches containing statues of Saint Matthew and Saint Mark.
