Condition

Maintenance has taken place over a period of many years. However, the cumulative effects of weathering are evident on the external timber elements of the church. There are structural issues associated with the rear (east) section of the church, particularly the northeast corner, likely presenting a structurally unstable situation. There is also evidence of deterioration of the masonry at the external vestry entry, previous repairs at the north end of the church, and the ground level around the church perimeter has built up to a level that is restricting the airflow through the sub floor vents. The interior has been maintained at a high level, although there is a serious crack in the ceiling in the vicinity of the fleche. Overall All Saints Anglican Church, Trayning is in fair to good condition.
