Details: Christ Church, Newcastle, now about to be demolished, is the oldest church in Australia. It dates from the year 1817 and is one of the public buildings erected during the years of Lachlan Macquarie. The steeple had to be removed in deference to the dread of the congregation that its untimely fall might, one day, precipitate them into the next world in a manner somewhat unceremonious. During the early period to which we more especially allude the steeple remained, however, intact, importing certainly an ecclesiastical aspect to the four square walls, which otherwise might have represented anything. The eastern end of the church is rounded off to form a recess for the Communion table, but this improvement is not shown in the picture in Mr. Dangar s book, and, with the gallery, was probably the offspring of later times. The ground plan is something in the shape of the letter T and over the entrance (there is but one, exclusive of a small door affording entrance to the gallery) appears in the usual oval, similar to students of Gov. Macquarie s public buildings, the inscription - G. E. Erected A. D. 1817. Lachlan Macquarie, Esq., Governor by James Wallis Esq., Captain 46th regt, Commandant. Within this building there is nothing to induce inconoclasm or to inspire the awe of an aesthetic or sensuous admirer of the Ritualistic.....Years have rolled away since then, James Wallis Esq., his subalterns, and soldiers, have all disappeared. Many were not doomed ever to revisit the green fields and pleasant villages of Albion; many left their bones in the graveyard adjoining the church
