An Old Colonial Gothic style church, St Bede’s is notable for its intactness and the fact that it still retains much of its original character. The church was designed by Father John Joseph Therry and construction commenced in 1837. Bishop Polding sent Therry to Tasmania in 1838 and altered the original design of the church. An inscription over the front entrance shows that work was completed on the church in 1841.

St Bede’s Catholic church and graveyard are situated on four acres of ground centrally placed within the township of Appin.

The graveyard has some fine examples of monumental masonry reflecting the Irish Catholic background of many of the early settlers of the district.
