St David’s Anglican Cathedral, Hobart was designed by English architect George Frederick Bodley (1827-1907) in 1865 in the Gothic Revival style. The foundation stone was laid in 1868 by Prince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the nave was consecrated in 1874. The work was supervised by Henry Hunter (1832-1892). The photographs show the nave, aisles, and sanctuary of the cathedral, as well as a small internal pointed arch door and doorway (photograph three), demonstrating that the Gothic style was carried through to utilitarian features. Photographs one and two show the elevation of the cathedral achieved with columns supporting pointed arches with molding, and the vaulted ceiling. Also visible is the large stained glass east window with stone tracery above the high altar, and numerous smaller stained glass windows. Other fatures of note in photographs one and two are the Bodley designed stone font and timber rood screen, the latter being installed in 1916.
George Bodley was a well-known architect working in the Gothic Revival style, and in particular he was influenced by late medieval architecture from England and northern Europe. His best known work is perhaps Magdalen College, Oxford.

Medieval artefacts, St David’s Cathedral, Hobart, Tasmania
Anglican, artefact, George Frederick Bodley, Cloisters, Dublin, England, Gothic, Gothic Revival, Hobart, Ireland, pillar, Salisbury Cathedral, St David’s Cathedral, St Patrick’s Cathedral, spire, Tas, Tasmania, Tudor Rose, Wales, Westminster Hall.
<p>St David’s Cathedral, Hobart, was designed by English architect George Frederick Bodley (1827-1907) in 1865 in the Gothic Revival style, with further revisions in 1891. As the foundation stone for the Cloisters and Tower were not laid until 1892 they are likely to have been part of those revisions. They were completed and consecrated in 1936. The Cloisters building acts as a museum and features a number of original medieval artefacts on its walls. The photographs below are of four of the items: a sculpture of a head from the wall of the twelfth-century St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, a pillar from a spire on the fourteenth-century Salisbury Cathedral in England, a fifteenth-century Tudor Rose stone from the eleventh-century Westminster Hall in London, and a stone from the sixth-century St David’s Cathedral in Wales. The artefacts in the Cloisters provide a good opportunity for the public to interact with medieval material culture.</p>

<p>The main entrance to St David’s Cathedral is on Murray Street, Hobart. The cathedral was designed by English architect George Frederick Bodley (1827-1907) in 1865 in the Gothic Revival style.

The pointed-arch doorway is entered through an arcade consisting of three pointed-arch entrances. The large west window above the entrance includes tracery, five lancet windows, and leadlight made in Melbourne by Brooke Robinson and installed in 1965. The entrance is flanked by two additional pointed-arch windows featuring three lancet windows each, as well as buttressed turrets.</p>
