<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. The interior includes many Gothic features; particularly the carved rood screen from c. 1920 and the reredos wood panelling from 1895 in photograph one, both of which include prominent pointed arches in their design. The east and west pointed arch windows with tracery are both made up of four lancet windows with stained glass. The stained glass in the east window (above the reredos) was made by Melbourne-based stained glass artist William Montgomery (1850-1927) in 1909. The choir stalls (in front of the rood screen) were designed by Alexander North (1858-1945) and installed in 1934.</p>

<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>

<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>

Masks, Chalmers Presbyterian Church, Launceston, Tasmania
bell tower, Thomas Chalmers, Chalmers Free Church, Church of Scotland, William Henry Clayton, Free Kirkers, Gothic, Gothic Revival, Launceston, masks, Presbyterian, Tas, Tasmania, Presbyterian, arched windows
<p>One of two photographs of the former Chalmers Presbyterian Church in Launceston. The church was built in Gothic Revival style in 1859 (the first service was in January 1860) and was designed by architect William Henry Clayton (1823-1877). It was named after Thomas Chalmers, the founder of the Free Church movement in Scotland following the 1843 Great Disruption of the Church of Scotland. His followers were known as Free Kirkers. The church became a Presbyterian church in 1896 and was deconsecrated in 1981 and it can now be hired as a hall. This photograph shows face masks around the bell tower. Despite the flamboyantly Gothic style of the tower, the masks may be inspired by similar ones from the Classical period, and are quite different from the gargoyles which one would expect to find on a Gothic church.</p>

The church became a Presbyterian church in 1896 and was deconsecrated in 1981 and it can now be hired as a hall. This photograph shows the flamboyant Gothic Revival style, sometimes referred to as Florid Gothic, of the front of Chalmers church, with a ornate bell tower and numerous arched windows.</p>
