Title

Medievalism at the Foundations
Description
An account of the resource
This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.

An account of the resource
An image of St. Patrick's Hall, which is located on South Street alongside St. Patrick's Catholic Church in the town of York, Western Australia. Originally built and dedicated as a mission church on St. Patrick's Day in 1859, it soon became apparent to Father Patrick Gibney, who became resident priest in 1868, that the church was not big enough for the congregation.
In 1869, he commissioned Joseph Nunan, an ex-convict who was an expert in Irish and Gothic architecture, to design and supervise the building of a new church in York. The church which was built is the current St Patrick's Catholic Church on South Street besides which St. Patrick's Hall stands.

Description
An account of the resource
An image of Bonython Hall at The University of Adelaide in South Australia. Bonython Hall is a neo-gothic building that was constructed from Murray Bridge limestone between 1933 and 1936. The entrance facing North Terrace features three large lancet-arched doorways, a late-gothic perpendicular style window and intricate stone-carved decorations including blind arcading on the gable, the quatrefoil patterns above the doors and the two lion statues bearing heraldic shields. It is flanked by two large octagonal towers that are also decorated with carved heraldic shields, arrow-slit windows and crenellation. The construction of the Hall was funded by a donation of £50,000 from Sir John Langdon Bonython, who was a prominent South Australian benefactor and a member of The University of Adelaide Council from 1916 until his death in 1939. The building houses a ‘great hall’, which is used for ceremonies and large functions such as graduations, examinations and public lectures.

An account of the resource
In this article from a regular children’s column in the Sunday Times called “The Girls and Boys Clubâ€, a standard and idealised description of medieval manor houses is provided. According to the author, a fifteenth-century manor house was a grand residence that featured a great hall, a huge kitchen with adjoining pantry and buttery, a large dining-room, a private chapel, an aviary, a tower, courtyards and beautifully landscaped gardens. It was presided over by a lord and is described as a ‘little town’ because it housed hundreds of people. An interesting but unexplained comment towards the end of the article also suggests that manor houses had underground tunnels because in the ‘bad old days’ of the medieval period, the Lord of the manor ‘was likely to make enemies almost overnight, through no fault of his own’.
