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 Mark’s Anglican Church is in the northern Tasmanian town of Deloraine. It was designed by William Henry Clayton (1823-1877) in the Gothic Revival style, in particular ‘Decorated’ or ‘Victorian Free’ Gothic. The foundation stone was laid in 1856 and the church was consecrated in 1860. In 1878 the chancel, sanctuary, north transept and rose window were added, and the vestry was added in 1969. As can be seen in one of the photographs, the church is unfinished and a proposed extension to the south façade means that no windows have been added to that side. The most prominent part of St Mark’s is the three story octagonal tower on the north-west corner which is topped by a spire and includes lancet windows, pointed arch gables, and a stair turret. Other Gothic features of the brick church are the buttresses, pointed arch window in the west walls that include four lancet windows and tracery, pointed arch doorways, and a rose window.</p>

This Collection analyses popular medievalism in material and public culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on popular medievalist theatre, parades and public spectacles, as well as recreational, literary and political associations.

<p>This wood and tin bird cage is in the Gothic architectural style that was commonly employed on churches in Europe between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries. The body of the bird cage is four panels in the shape of pointed arch windows with tracery at the top. This is topped by a tower with another four windows, and a tall spire. The bird cage was created by Cameo Alpacas and Garden Art, a company run by Pearl Anderson and Elod Gunther and based in Woodbridge in southern Tasmania. The photograph was taken at the Tasmanian Craft Fair held in the town of Deloraine.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church is in the small Tasmanian town of Bothwell. The church was built in the Gothic Revival style from 1887 and consecrated in 1891. It was designed by Launceston architect Alexander North (1858-1945) and built of local stone by Lewis and son and Hallet, primarily by the stonemason Thomas Lewis. The stonemason’s skill is amply displayed on the interior, which features stone steps through a low stone wall connected to a stone pulpit, a stone alter, and decorated stone columns. An unusual feature is the stone fireplace on the west wall to heat the church. The low stone wall features a pointed arch design in relief which adds to the Gothic appearance of the interior. The fittings of the interior, including the pews and the font beside the fireplace, were designed by North. Also evident in the photographs are the lancet windows, some with stained glass, and the timber trusses of the roof.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>St Andrew’s Church of England (Anglican) is opposite the Village Green in the small Tasmanian town of Westbury. The foundation stone was laid in 1836 by Lieutenant George Arthur (1784-1854) and the sandstone brick church was first used in 1841. The nave was designed by the convict architect James Blackburn (1803-1854) in 1840-02. The church was finally consecrated in 1851 by Tasmania’s first Bishop, Francis Russell Nixon (1803-1879). The tower was added in 1859 under the supervision of architect William Henry Clayton (1823-1877). The sanctuary and chancel were completed in 1888 and consecrated in 1890. St Andrew’s is in the Gothic Revival style and features buttresses, lancet windows, a porch, tracery in the east window, and pointed arch doorways. The tower is topped by a crenelated parapet and originally had pinnacles but these were removed following serious storm damage in 1877.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This large stained glass window featuring three figures from the Old Testament is on the northern wall of St David’s Anglican Cathedral, Hobart. It was created by the firm Burlison and Grylls and installed in the Cathedral in 1872. Each of the three figures – Joshua, Moses, and Gideon, occupy a lancet window. While Moses is attired in a robe, Gideon wears armour and a hat of the Renaissance period, and carries a spear. Joshua, who led the Israelites on their conquest of Canaan following the death of Moses, is dressed as a medieval knight. He wears full plate armour of the late medieval period and a sword at his side, and carries a lance. His helmet is at his feet. All three figures are standing above a representation of a castle/fortress with three round towers topped by a crenelated parapet, and Gothic-style spires. Below the castles are heraldic shields.</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>While most local government councils in Australia are presided over by a mayor and councillors, Launceston City Council in Tasmania has a mayor and aldermen. This has been the case since the first election of alderman to the council in 1853, which were the first local government elections held in Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania). Alderman comes from the Old English term ealdorman, literally ‘old man’. They were high ranking royal officials in charge of a shire or county and its army until the term began to be superseded by eorl (earl), probably from Old Norse jarl, from the late tenth-century. The term ealdorman appears in such Anglo-Saxon texts as Beowulf, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and the Lindisfarne Gospels. Perhaps the most famous ealdorman was Ealdorman Byrhtnoth of Essex who lost the battle of Maldon to a Viking army in 991.</p>
