"This church is one of the few in the Southern area of the Anglican Diocese to have weathered the period of time on its original site.
"Tenders for the establishment of the church were called in January 1876. It was built by Price and Shadrow and the Arhitect was Mr F W Burwell. The church was opened on 18 October 1876 and finally consecrated in 1893 when cleared of all debts.
"The Winton community nearly lost the church in 1979, with the threat of demolition. Fortunately parishioners and friends worked very hard to restore and extend the building and it was great thrill to have it rededicated by Bishop Peter Mann on 20 December 1989.
"The Church is also recognised as a Category II, Historic Building by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust."
