St Luke's Church was opened in 1830 and was built by the colonial government for joint use by the Anglican and Presbyterian congregations. Lieutenant Governor Arthur directed the architect, John Lee Archer, to change the rounded windows which he considered un-christian. Daniel Herbert, a convict sculptor who carved the Ross Bridge heads, reputedly carved the Celtic heads over the doorway of this church.
