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
<p>An image of the ‘Saint George’ stained glass window at St Alban’s Anglican Church, Highgate. This stained glass is one of three windows (the others depicting St Alban and St Michael) located at the rear of the church. It was originally purchased for St George’s Cathedral but was later discovered to be the wrong shape (rounded instead of pointed) and was donated to St Alban’s. The stained glass depicts George standing astride a vanquished winged-dragon. As is common in artistic renditions, George’s role as a warrior saint is symbolised by a suit of elaborate armour, a sword and a shield. His spear, which pierces the dragon, is also a processional cross and has a pennant with a cross flying from it.</p>
<p>About St Alban’s:</p>
<p>St Alban’s is a small limestone parish church located in Highgate, Western Australia. Built in 1889 (with enlargements in 1898) in a Victorian Romanesque style, it is one of the earliest buildings designed by well-known WA architect Sir J. J. Talbot-Hobbs (1864-1938). Its characteristically romanesque features include the semi-circular arches, the traditional load-bearing masonry of the buttresses and solid walling, and the small window and door openings in relation to the overall wall area. The St Alban’s church Hall was used briefly as a preparatory school by The Sisters of the Church of England between 1907 and 1915. For more information about St Alban’s, see: <a href="http://stalbans.org.au/about-st-albans/historic-st-albans/" target="_blank">http://stalbans.org.au/about-st-albans/historic-st-albans/</a>.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
A view of the tall campanile tower at St Michael’s Uniting Church in Collin’s Street, central Melbourne. St Michael’s Uniting Church was designed by architectural firm Reed and Barnes in a Victorian Romanesque style. The style has more specifically been described as ‘Lombardic Romanesque’ on account of the polychrome brickwork and campanile style tower pictured here (See, for example, the Victorian Heritage Register: <a href="http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/#detail_places;721">http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/#detail_places;721</a>). The polychrome pattern is unusual for a neo-romanesque building, as it was more often found in buildings of gothic design. The church was constructed by John Young between 1866 and 1867, and was originally named The Independent Church. It was renamed in 1977.

Today it is used as an administrative hub. The Mitchell Building’s neo-gothic features include its steeply gabled roof, lancet windows, decorative stone tracery and the roof fleche/spire.

Medievalist features include blind arcading, whilst the top of the corner tower gives the impression of the flying buttresses common on Gothic churches. The building became a hotel, The Grace Sydney, in 1997.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
A view of a traceried gothic window at Scot’s Church on Collins Street in central Melbourne. Above the window, an arcade of lancet arches lines the gable. A number of other slender lancet windows and examples of decorative blind tracery are visible.
Scot’s Church was built in a decorated Gothic Revival style to the design of architectural firm Reed & Barnes. It is constructed from Barrabool Hills freestone with sandstone dressings sourced from New Zealand. The current Scot’s Church building was completed in 1874 and replaced an older church that had operated from the site since 1841. The site was granted to the Church of Scotland in 1839, and transferred to the Presbyterian Church of Victoria upon its formation in 1859 (when the Church of Scotland, the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church united). Other characteristic neo-gothic features of Scot’s Church include its 120ft spire, which for a number of years was the highest point in Melbourne’s townscape, its decorative quoins, buttresses, and pinnacles. The church also boasts a number of stained glass windows by well-known artists such as Ferguson & Urie of Melbourne, Van der poorten of Brussels and F.X. Zettler of Munich.
