1 8 1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. 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.

Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource ‘Heraldic’ domestic pattern window, Front entrance, Longerenong homestead, Longerenong, Victoria Subject The topic of the resource Celtic, Ferguson & Urie, floral grid pattern, flowers, harp, heraldry, John Lyon, Longerenong homestead, medieval design, Samuel Wilson, Stained glass, Victoria, VIC, window Description An account of the resource This ‘heraldic’ pattern transom hangs over the doorway at Longerenong homestead in Victoria. Central to the design is a golden Celtic harp on blue shield (c. 13th century) representing owner Samuel Wilson’s Irish roots. This is flanked by his initials (S W), and the year (AD 1862). A ‘diapered’ medieval floral grid pattern dominates the background, and alternate blue and white flowers attached to golden stems and leaves, occupy the red outer borders. Beverley Sherry points out that, “The nineteenth-century pioneers of Victoria’s pastoral districts had a strong sense of family pride and this was [often] expressed in stained glass” (Australia’s Historic Stained Glass, Sydney, Murray Child, 1991, p.37). The colourful ‘Longerenong’ window provides an excellent example of such expression.
