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>St Joseph’s Catholic Church is on the corner of MacQuarie and Harrington Streets in Hobart,<br />Tasmania. The foundation stone for the sandstone church was laid in 1840 and it was opened by Fr. John Joseph Therry (1790-1864) on Christmas day, 1841. It was the principal Catholic church in Tasmania until St Mary’s Cathedral was completed in 1866, so Tasmania’s first Catholic bishop, Robert William Willson (1794-1866), was installed there when he arrived from England in 1844. The church was designed by ex-convict James Alexander Thompson (1805-1860), and it was built using convict labour. Alterations to the interior were made under the direction of Bishop Willson in 1856 by Henry Hunter (1832-1892). The interior is in the Gothic Revival style and features pointed arch windows and doorway, blind arcading, a gallery supported by rounded clustered gothic columns, and lancet windows. The timber trusses of the roof were painted brown to make them resemble English oak. The large brass electric lights were designed in the Gothic style by Fr Walter McEntee and added in 1972.</p>
