Christ Church St Laurence

Step off Sydney’s main drag into this calming 1845 sandstone church. The rather charming neo-Gothic interior is atmospheric, with dark wooden fittings and handsome stained glass; it feels as close as Anglicanism gets to Catholicism. The ornate sandstone tomb is of John Patteson, a missionary bishop killed by disgruntled Solomon Islanders in the nineteenth century.
