Construction commenced in 1862 with stone quarried from the demolished homestead at the Walcha station, Villa Wolka, and was completed in 1866.

The church is a simple granite building of coursed random rubble in a Rustic Gothic style, given by pointed arched window frames within rectangular openings, steeply pitched roof that was originally shingled and is not iron, and a timber shingled bellcote.

The interior is of outstanding simple Gothic quality lit by nine stained glass memorial windows dedicated to the early pioneers of the district.
