Further refurbishment was undertaken between 1892 and 1901 more recently new works were carried out in 1988.

It is said the church, which is situated at 173 King Street (and bordered by Macquarie and Phillip Streets and opposite the Hyde Park Barracks), is Sydney's oldest surviving church building after St Phillip's church was destroyed by fire.

The church served the first bishop of Australia for seven years until St Andrews Cathedral was finally built.

This church, like the few remaining churches dotted about the city centre, is juxtaposed against the modern multi-story skyscrapers and provides a quiet place of solitude for the weary traveller.

The church is not far from the St James underground railway station.
