 The original architects ' plans had been preserved — though they were close to disintegration — and were largely followed in the subsequent construction work . A Launceston builder was contracted for the work , though much , including flooring , was performed by volunteers . Work was completed at an approximate cost of 8000 pounds , and the church was finally completed on 20 May 1961 , with the first service held the following day . Some furnishings in the church came from Entally 's Chapel including the altar and coverings , a wooden cross , symbolic paintings and a bell now hung in the church 's porch . The bell , formerly in St Stephens in Smithton , carries the inscription " Kains 1817 " and probably comes from the whaler " Kains " which was wrecked in 1835 . A stained glass window at the rear of the church originated in Entally 's chapel , and spent time installed in another nearby Church . It shows the crucifixion of Jesus and the Good Shepherd . The Church is a Gothic Revival design and somewhat scaled down from the original plans , the nave was built 10 feet ( 3 @.@ 0 m ) shorter , with some changed elements such as the entrance being built in stone on the west side rather than wood on the south . The church was consecrated in February 1973 .
