Abstract
St Andrew's Wentworthville, although a building deprived of its original heritage integrity because of its relocation, still serves as an example of the work of architect James Hume. It also provides the Presbyterian community of Wentworthville with a focal point for their spiritual needs and a venue for social gatherings. Although many believe that at least some of the stonework can be attributed to David Lennox, famous colonial bridge-builder, James Houison, Parramatta's forgotten architect, also made a contribution to its design. Presbyterianism was and is renowned for its schisms (or secessions) since its beginnings in Scotland and these continued in the colony, including at Parramatta where this beautiful gothic church was originally erected.
