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.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>St Andrew’s Church of England (Anglican) is opposite the Village Green in the small Tasmanian town of Westbury. The foundation stone was laid in 1836 by Lieutenant George Arthur (1784-1854) and the sandstone brick church was first used in 1841. The nave was designed by the convict architect James Blackburn (1803-1854) in 1840-02. The church was finally consecrated in 1851 by Tasmania’s first Bishop, Francis Russell Nixon (1803-1879). The tower was added in 1859 under the supervision of architect William Henry Clayton (1823-1877). The sanctuary and chancel were completed in 1888 and consecrated in 1890. St Andrew’s is in the Gothic Revival style and features buttresses, lancet windows, a porch, tracery in the east window, and pointed arch doorways. The tower is topped by a crenelated parapet and originally had pinnacles but these were removed following serious storm damage in 1877.</p>

An account of the resource
A view of Beehive Corner at the Western end of Rundle Mall in Adelaide, South Australia. This historic corner site was originally owned by John Rundle and has been known as ‘Beehive Corner’ since the 1840s. The Federation Gothic style building pictured here is the second building to stand on the site, replacing an older, plainer building erected in 1849. The present building was constructed between 1894 and 1896, most probably by architects English & Soward. It provides a rare example where neo-gothic architecture was used for a commercial building. Its characteristic gothic features include the lancet-arched windows with quatrefoil insets, the banded brickwork, the corbel effect, the pinnacles and the tourelle (or turret) bearing the name ‘Beehive Corner’ in gold lettering. Original features and details that had been stripped away during the twentieth century were restored in 1998.

Description
An account of the resource
A photograph of St Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney that most likely dates from between 1920 and 1925. St Andrew’s Cathedral is located on George Street in Sydney and is part of the Town Hall group of buildings. It is the oldest cathedral in Australia. Construction of the cathedral was completed in 1868, and it was consecrated by the second Bishop of Sydney, Frederick Barker, on St Andrew’s day (30 November) that year. St Andrew’s Cathedral is built in a Gothic Perpendicular style according to the design of well-known gothic revival architect Edmund T. Blacket. Blacket replaced James Hume as the architect of the cathedral, and had to adapt his plans to conform to the shape and size of foundations that were already in place. The photograph exhibits some of the cathedral’s many decorative pinnacles and traceried gothic windows. One of its two distinctive towers, believed to have been modelled on the fifteenth-century towers of York Minster Cathedral, is also visible in the background.

An account of the resource
A photograph of St Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney dating from c.1895. St Andrew’s functions as the seat of the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney and is the oldest cathedral in Australia. Construction of the cathedral was completed in 1868, and it was consecrated by the second Bishop of Sydney, Frederick Barker, on St Andrew’s day (30 November) that year. St Andrew’s Cathedral is built in a Gothic Perpendicular style according to the design of well-known gothic revival architect Edmund T. Blacket. Blacket replaced James Hume as the cathedral's architect, and had to adapt his plans to conform to the shape and size of foundations that were already in place. In this photograph the cathedral’s traditional cruciform shape is evident, as are its two distinctive towers, its numerous decorated pinnacles and its ornate traceried gothic windows. The western facade of St Andrew’s is believed to have been modelled on York Minster Cathedral, the towers of which date to the fifteenth century.

Description
An account of the resource
An image of the Perth Town Hall.
Construction of the Perth Town Hall began in 1867, and the building was officially opened in 1870. Upon the order of Governor Hampton the Town Hall was built as part of a Public Works programme that utilised convict labour. The building was designed by the Supervisor of Public Works, Richard Roach Jewell, and overseen by the Clerk of Works, James Manning. It is built in a Victorian Free Gothic style and exhibits distinctive neo-gothic features such as lancet arches, arcading, pinnacles, and tourelles on the clock tower. The layout of the building is also reminiscent of municipal structures in medieval towns, comprising an open marketplace beneath a hall and a clock tower to one end. The Town Hall clock was a significant feature within the community during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as it provided a common time for those who could not afford timepieces. It also provided a central, communal place for Perth residents and gave them a sense of place.

Title
A name given to the resource
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.

Description
An account of the resource
The Western facade of St Mary's Cathedral was finally completed during the third and most recent stage of development and expansion in 2009. The 2009 completion of the cathedral is particularly evident in the two towers flanking the church entrance, with one being traditionally neo-gothic featuring crenellation, turrets, and lancet windows, whilst the recently completed tower has square windows and what could be interpreted as a modern rendition of crenellation.
About St Mary’s Roman Catholic Cathedral:
St Mary’s Roman Catholic Cathedral is a neo-gothic cathedral located in Perth, WA. It was constructed in four stages between 1865 and 2009. Building of the original brick portion of the cathedral commenced in 1863 but stalled due to lack of funds. It was completed in 1865 when an evening procession of all the Catholic clergy in Perth was held, and the building was blessed and named the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Additions and alterations between 1897 and 1905 emphasised the gothic character of the Cathedral. These included the addition of a steeple, pinnacles, gargoyles and crenellation to the bell tower, and the addition of a porch, an aedicule housing a statute of the Virgin Mary and extra lancet windows to the western end. Following the elevation of Perth to an Archdiocese in 1913, Archbishop Clune began a series of appeals to replace the Cathedral with a grander structure. Well-known WA architect Michael Cavanagh was appointed and produced plans for a completely new limestone Cathedral of Academic Gothic design. Due to financial constraints, however, it was decided to utilise the existing building, which subsequently became the nave, and add only new transepts and a sanctuary. These were completed in 1930 and the Cathedral retained this structure until 2006, when Archbishop Hickey ordered renovations to complete Cavanagh’s grand design.
