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
An image of the Perth Town Hall.
Construction of the Perth Town Hall began in 1867, and the building was officially opened in 1870. Upon the order of Governor Hampton the Town Hall was built as part of a Public Works programme that utilised convict labour. The building was designed by the Supervisor of Public Works, Richard Roach Jewell, and overseen by the Clerk of Works, James Manning. It is built in a Victorian Free Gothic style and exhibits distinctive neo-gothic features such as lancet arches, arcading, pinnacles, and tourelles on the clock tower. The layout of the building is also reminiscent of municipal structures in medieval towns, comprising an open marketplace beneath a hall and a clock tower to one end. The Town Hall clock was a significant feature within the community during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as it provided a common time for those who could not afford timepieces. It also provided a central, communal place for Perth residents and gave them a sense of place.
