Built by Tyson and Richardson and designed by well-known Launceston architect, Harry Conway, St Peter's is not the first church to occupy the St Leonards site, then known as Paterson's Plains. A previous church, also known at St Peter's, was built in 1847 but was pulled down in 1867. Built of brick & bluestone and concrete foundation.
