Support the Preservation of St Mary’s Williamstown


Through their external appeals program, The National Trust of Australia (Victoria) works to protect and conserve places of historical, cultural, and architectural significance for future generations. 

By making a tax deductible donation through this platform we are able to raise funds for the conservation of St Mary’s, a beautiful bluestone church designed by renowned architect William Wardell and a rare, enduring example of Gothic Revival architecture.


How Your Donation Helps


Your contribution directly supports essential conservation works, including:• Roof and gutter maintenance

• Stone and timber repairs

• Protection of stained glass windows

• Preservation of original architectural features

These works ensure the church is protected from weather damage and structural deterioration—keeping it safe, functional, and true to its heritage.


Why It Matters


By donating, you are helping to ensure that St Mary’s Williamstown continues;

• serving the community as a place of worship and reflection

• as a vital part of Williamstown’s identity

• as an irreplaceable piece of local history


Donations made to the St Mary's Williamstown Restoration Appeal through the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) are allowable as deductions for tax purposes.
