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. Still Image A static visual representation. Examples of still images are: paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type "text" to images of textual materials.

Title A name given to the resource Norman baptismal font, St Mary’s Cathedral, Hobart, Tasmania Subject The topic of the resource Arch, baptismal font, Catholic, column, font, Hobart, Norman, Norman font, Romanesque, St Mary’s Cathedral, Tas, Tasmania, Robert William Willson, Bishop Willson. Description An account of the resource <p>Repair work on St Mary&rsquo;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s practical use of, and interaction with, an actual medieval item for many generations.</p> <p>For the original dating see <a href="http://www.cathnews.com/article.aspx?aeid=7424">http://www.cathnews.com/article.aspx?aeid=7424</a>.</p> <p>For the revised dating see <a href="http://hobart.catholic.org.au/history/st-marys-cathedral">http://hobart.catholic.org.au/history/st-marys-cathedral</a></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</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 October 6, 2012 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 arch baptismal font Bishop Willson.
