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

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