About St. Patrick's Catholic Church: The foundation stone of St. Patrick's Catholic Church was laid on St. Patrick's Day in 1875, with the building being completed in 1886. It was designed and built under the supervision of ex-convict Joseph Nunan, who was commissioned by the resident priest of the time, Father Patrick Gibney, to build a larger church to accommodate an increasing congregation. The design of the church is typical of the Gothic revival style with its spire, tall arches, vaulted ceiling, rose windows and lancet windows. This style of architecture was particularly popular in England, Australia, and other British colonies throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

The first stone was laid in 1916, but following the death of Bishop Kelly the cathedral was not completed until 1938 due to a lack of funds and lack of enthusiasm from Kelly’s replacement, Bishop Ryan. The cathedral is an interesting mix of styles. The twin towers at the front are similar to the Spanish mission style architecture (eg. The Mission Church of Santa Barbara in California), the central doorway is French Romanesque, the dome has echoes of Brunelleschi’s cupola in Florence, and the cone-roofed tower at the rear is similar to those found on French Renaissance châteaux. The interior features Romanesque columns, timbered ceiling, and zebra striping on the walls and arches. For more information on Monsignor John Cyril Hawes, see A. G. Evans, 'Hawes, John Cyril (1876-1956)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 9, Melbourne University Press, 1983, pp.229-230; John J.

The warrior, St George, carries a sword and shield with a cross motif, and the head of a dead dragon lies at his feet. Below them is a castle featuring crenellation. The&nbsp;window is a memorial for someone killed in action in France during World War I, which makes the depiction of a warrior saint an appropriate image.&nbsp;Wesley Church in the central Perth CBD was designed in the Gothic style by Richard Roach Jewell for the local Methodist congregation and it opened in 1870.</p> <p>For Wesley Church see <a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/916">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/916</a></p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource McLeod, Shane Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource July 6, 2012 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright Relation A related resource <a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/916">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/916</a> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 2xDigital photograph Armour castle Church crenellation crown dragon Gothic lancet windows memorial Methodist Perth Richard Roach Jewell shield St George stained glass sword tracery WA war Wesley Church Western Australia.

Title A name given to the resource Stairwell window at ‘Glenferrie,’ Malvern, Victoria Subject The topic of the resource Australiana, blazon, coat-of-arms, colonialism, Emu, Ferguson & Urie, Fergusson coat-of-arms, Glenferrie, James Fergusson, Kangaroo, Malvern, medieval design, rose, shamrock, Stained Glass, symbolism, thistle, VIC, Victoria Description An account of the resource This commanding stairwell window by Ferguson & Urie (1872) is calculated to reflect the prosperity and good fortune of the original owner, James Fergusson. Fergusson was a Melbourne manufacturing stationer, and was at times a member of the Legislative assembly and Shire President. The window was probably installed shortly after he moved into ‘Glenferrie’ in 1872 and remained there, long after Fergusson died in 1888, until the house was demolished in 1954. The window comprises three large central lights, the innermost of which contains the Fergusson Coat-of-Arms, and three smaller top lights, each containing specifically Australian motifs (Kangaroo, Colonial Coat-of Arms, and an Emu). The ‘diapered’ octagonal background quarries feature a rose, shamrock, and thistle pattern that is stylistically ‘medieval,’ signifying a link to the British Isles. Hand painted scenes in the (lower) main tier of panels depict relevant features of the burgeoning economy, which are related to trade, productivity, and the exploitation of natural resources.

The statue is the work of French sculptor Emmanuel Fr&eacute;miet, and is a cast of the 1899 version of his Jeanne d&rsquo;Arc which stands in the Place des Pyramides in Paris. Purchased in 1906 by Bernard Hall, the Director of the National Gallery of Victoria, with funds from the Felton Bequest, it was installed at the entrance to the State Library of Victoria on 4 February 1907. The sculpture depicts the young Joan of Arc astride a war-horse, dressed in her body-armour and raising an oriflamme banner.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About Joan of Arc:</span><br /> Joan of Arc was born in 1412 in the French village of Domr&eacute;my. From the age of about 12, Joan had visions of saints and heard heavenly voices that increasingly urged her to fight for France during the Hundred Years&rsquo; War. She travelled to the court of Charles De Ponthieu, the Orl&eacute;anist claimant to the throne, where she was provided with a suit of armour and her distinctive banner depicting a golden fleur-de-lys. She secured a decisive military victory to rescue the city of Orl&eacute;ans from the Earl of Salisbury&rsquo;s English army in 1429, and was present at the coronation of Charles VII. However, in May the following year Joan was captured by Burgundian forces at Compi&egrave;gne, and was handed over to the English. She was tried at Rouen on charges of witchcraft and heresy, and was condemned to death. On 30 May 1431, she was executed. Two and a half decades later, the case was appealed and her conviction was overturned. She was beatified in 1909 and canonised as a saint in 1920.</p> <p>For more information about this statue and its background, see Ted Gott, &lsquo;An Iron Maiden for Melbourne &ndash; The History and Context of Emmanuel Fr&eacute;miet&rsquo;s 1906 Cast of Jeanne d&rsquo;Arc&rsquo;, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.53-68: <a href="http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t5.html" target="_blank">http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t5.html</a>.</p> </div> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource McEwan, Joanne Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 27 April 2011 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Digital Photograph Armour banner banners battle battles Bernard Hall bronze Charles de Ponthieu (1403-1461) Charles VII (r.

The legend of St George slaying the dragon is Eastern in origin. It is thought to have been brought back to England by crusaders, where it was incorporated into the chivalric tradition.

The statue is the work of Viennese-born sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm. It was purchased by the State Library of Victoria for the sum of £1000 following the Centennial International Exhibition in 1888, and was installed at the entrance to the library in 1889. With the exception of some repositioning to accommodate Frémiet’s Jeanne d’Arc statue in 1907, this is where it still stands. The Boehm statue depicts St George, sitting astride his horse wearing a cape and a helmet bearing the distinctive St George cross, in the action of inflicting the dragon’s deathblow by means of a large spear. The legend of St George slaying the dragon is Eastern in origin. It is thought to have been brought back to England by crusaders and was popularised and incorporated into hagiographies of St George in the medieval period in works such as Vincent of Beauvais’ Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine’s Golden Legend (c.1260). As with most early Australian images of St George and the Dragon, the statue features the knight and dragon fused in combat, and there is no sign of the maiden who was being saved in the original tale.
