St adrians church - blackheath
St Aidan’s has high local significance, reflecting the growth of an Anglican community shortly after Blackheath developed as a village.
The way in which the church was built in three parallel stages not only gives it a highly individual and attractive appearance, but also shows the continuous growth and enthusiasm of the local Anglican community and rectors over the period 1884 to 1902.
The historic Richardson organ, in uncommonly untouched condition, is of state significance as one of the finest small organs created by one of the most gifted of Sydney’s organ-builders.
St Aidan's Anglican Church, Blackheath is a fine intact example of a Victorian carpenter gothic style church built in 1884 and extended in the same style at the turn of the century to provide for the growing population of the town.
St Aidan's Church contains a number of high quality fitments including pipe organ, pulpit and reredos.
The reredos is a memorial to one of Blackheath's prominent citizens, John George Neate.
