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>The building of St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral, Hobart, Tasmania, was instigated by Tasmania’s first Catholic bishop, Robert William Willson (1794-1866). The building was designed by William Wardell and built between 1860 and 1866, supervised by Henry Hunter (1832-1892). It was opened by Willson's successor Bishop Daniel Murphy (1815-1907). However the building was found to be faulty and had to be largely dismantled and rebuilt to a modified design by Hunter between 1876 and 1881. The building is in the Gothic Revival style. The interior includes pointed arch windows and columns supporting pointed arch openings within the nave. A survival from the original cathedral is the Hardman window. The stained glass window was made by the Hardman Studio run by John Hardman in Birmingham, England. It is based on Gothic windows of the fourteenth century and features five lancet windows and tracery. It is a memorial to Bishop William and his Vicar-General William Hall (1807-1866). Below the window is the tabernacle. It is made from the remains of the high alter carved by Byron Malloy that was installed at the re-opening of the cathedral in 1881.</p>

The sandstone building is in the Gothic Revival style with blind arcading, buttresses, a rose window, niches, pointed arch doorways and windows (with tracery), pointed finials, lancet windows. The tower of the original cathedral did not survive the redesign. The extension to the right of the cathedral was added in 2010.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Repair work on St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral, Hobart, in 2008 brought to light the possibility that a baptismal font in the Cathedral may be from the medieval Norman period. The cylindrical font has elaborately carved columns and Romanesque arches. The Romanesque style was popular in Normandy and was introduced to England following the Norman conquest in 1066. It is thought that the font was brought to Hobart from England by Tasmania’s first Catholic bishop, Robert William Willson (1794-1866) in 1844. When the antiquity of the font was first discovered, the Cathedral administrator told ABC News in 2008 that it may date<br />back to the ninth century, but as Normandy was not formally established until 911 this is unlikely. More recently it has been suggested that the font comes<br />from the Norman period in England and is dated c. 1066-1200. Research into the font is continuing.</p>
<p>The baptismal font is a rare example of the Australian<br />public’s practical use of, and interaction with, an actual medieval item for many generations.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>St Joseph’s Catholic Church is on the corner of MacQuarie and Harrington Streets in Hobart,<br />Tasmania. The foundation stone for the sandstone church was laid in 1840 and it was opened by Fr. John Joseph Therry (1790-1864) on Christmas day, 1841. It was the principal Catholic church in Tasmania until St Mary’s Cathedral was completed in 1866, so Tasmania’s first Catholic bishop, Robert William Willson (1794-1866), was installed there when he arrived from England in 1844. The church was designed by ex-convict James Alexander Thompson (1805-1860), and it was built using convict labour. Alterations to the interior were made under the direction of Bishop Willson in 1856 by Henry Hunter (1832-1892). The interior is in the Gothic Revival style and features pointed arch windows and doorway, blind arcading, a gallery supported by rounded clustered gothic columns, and lancet windows. The timber trusses of the roof were painted brown to make them resemble English oak. The large brass electric lights were designed in the Gothic style by Fr Walter McEntee and added in 1972.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>St John the Evangelist’s Church is in the village of Richmond, Tasmania, and is the oldest continuously used Catholic church in Australia. The present building is an amalgam of two designs. The earliest building was designed by the English (Bath) architect Henry Edmund Goodbridge (1800-1863) after John Bede Polding (1794-1877), Australia’s first Catholic bishop, obtained plans for several churches from Goodbridge before sailing to Australia in 1835. Polding laid the foundation stone in 1835 and the church was completed in 1837. The nave of the present building is from the original church. In 1859 additions were completed under the supervision of architect Frederick Thomas (1817-1885) from a parts of a detailed scale model made by the English architect Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852) in 1843. The model was made for Pugin’s friend Robert William Willson (1794-1866) who was the first Catholic Bishop in Tasmania. From Pugin’s design come the chancel (including the rear stained glass window with tracery seen in photograph two), sacristy and spire. Thomas designed the communion rails as the rood screen in Pugin’s model was too large for the building, as well as the pointed chancel arch. The interior also includes a font designed by Pugin in 1843. It was carved in England and brought to Tasmania by Bishop Wilson, and sits atop a platform of simple medieval-style tiles. </p>
<p>Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852) played a central role in establishing the Gothic Revival style and is best remembered for his work on the Houses of Parliament in London, and the interior of the Palace of Westminster.</p>

In 1859 additions were completed under the supervision of architect Frederick Thomas (1817-1885) from a detailed scale model made by the English architect Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852) in 1843. The model was made for Pugin’s friend Robert William Willson (1794-1866) who was the first Catholic Bishop in Tasmania. From Pugin’s design come the chancel (including the rear window with tracery), sacristy and spire. The building is in the Gothic Revival style with pointed arch doorways, buttresses, tracery, spire, stair turret, and lancet windows. The present spire is the third and a scaled down version of Pugin's original designed by architect Rod Cooper and added in 1972. The cross on top of the spire is all that remains of the second spire, designed by Alexander North (1858-1945) in 1893.</p>
<p>Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852) played a central role in establishing the Gothic Revival style and is best remembered for his work on the Houses of Parliament in London, and the interior of the Palace of Westminster.</p>

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>St Patrick’s Catholic Church is in the village of Colebrook, Tasmania. The sandstone building was built in 1855-7 under the supervision of architect Frederick Thomas from a detailed scale model made by the English architect Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852) in 1843. The model was made for Pugin’s friend Robert William Willson (1794-1866) who was the first Catholic Bishop in Tasmania. The building is in the Gothic Revival style with pointed arch doorways, buttresses, tracery, porch, and lancet windows. A noticeable feature is the triple bellcote which was reinstated in 2007 after falling in a storm in 1895. The elaborate balustrade was not part of Pugin’s design and was added by Thomas due to the sloping site. St Patrick’s represents Pugin’s idea of an early fourteenth century English village church.</p>
<p>Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852) played a central role in establishing the Gothic Revival style and is best remembered for his work on the Houses of Parliament in London, and the interior of the Palace of Westminster.</p>
<p>St Patrick (c. 387 - c. 460) was an early medieval British missionary who worked in northern Ireland and is now Ireland’s patron saint.</p>
