…Presbyterian Church in 1857. It was designed by John Young in 1856 and built of bluestone in the gothic style. The Steeple was pulled down in 1913 and in 1914 the congregation moved to St David’s church in Newtown. A row of two storey shops was built in front of the main body of the church which still exists as part of the performing arts centre or ‘Band of Hope’ building in Geelong. Correspondence with St David’s in March 2012 didn’t reveal any clues as to what happened to the Ferguson & Urie windows that were in the Steeple church.
