<p>Christ Church St Laurence Anglican Church is at 812 George Street in the inner-city suburb of Haymarket in Sydney, New South Wales. The foundation stone of the church was laid by William Grant Broughton (1788-1853), Australia’s first Bishop, on New Year’s Day 1840, and he consecrated the church on September 10, 1845. The original architect was Henry Robertson, who completed the walls of the nave and the base of the tower. Edmund Thomas Blacket (1817-1883) was responsible for much of the interior, including the stone window tracery and ceiling. Following a fire in 1905 the architect John Burcham Clamp (1869-1931) restored much of the interior. Christ Church St Lawrence is in the Gothic Revival style and the interior features pointed arch windows lancet windows with stone window mouldings, tracery, and stained glass, a timber ceiling with trusses, and a painted wall around the east window. Painted interiors of churches was common during the medieval period before the Reformation, after which many were white-washed in countries which turned from Catholicism.</p>

Anglican, Bothwell, column, Gothic, Gothic Revival, lancet windows, Thomas Lewis, Alexander North, pointed arch, St Michael and All Angels Church, sculpture, Tas, Tasmania.
St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church is in the small town of Bothwell in Tasmania. It was built from 1887 and consecrated in 1891. St Michael and All Angels was designed in the Gothic Revival style by Launceston architect Alexander North (1858-1945) and built of local stone by stonemason Thomas Lewis. This stonework is evident in the church interior, including this decorated capital on a column supporting a Gothic-style pointed arch. The capital has foliage decoration, a motif common in medieval Romanesque and Gothic buildings in Europe. Two lancet windows can also be seen in the photograph.

<p>St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church is in the<br />small town of Bothwell in Tasmania. It was built from 1887 and consecrated in 1891 after disputes between the towns Anglican and Presbyterian congregations made the continued sharing of St Luke’s (1830) impossible. St Michael and All Angels was designed by Launceston architect Alexander North (1858-1945) and built of local stone by stonemason Thomas Lewis. The tower, with an internal stone spiral staircase and stair turret, was added in 1923. The proportions of the Gothic Revival church make it appear to be a small country cathedral. The church features buttresses, blind arcading, lancet windows, and pointed arch entrances. </p>

It was built from 1887 and consecrated in 1891 after disputes between the towns Anglican and Presbyterian congregations made the continued sharing of St Luke’s (1830) impossible. St Michael and All Angels was designed by Launceston architect Alexander North (1858-1945) and built of local stone by stonemason Thomas Lewis. As is clearly evident from these photographs, the cruciform church is not yet complete and is missing its north transept and spire. Instead, a weatherboard extension has been added, with Gothic-style windows sympathetic to the main building. The church is in the Gothic Revival style and features buttresses and lancet windows.</p>

<p>The main entrance to St David’s Cathedral is on Murray Street, Hobart. The cathedral was designed by English architect George Frederick Bodley (1827-1907) in 1865 in the Gothic Revival style. The foundation stone was laid in 1868 by Prince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the nave was consecrated in 1874. The work was supervised by Henry Hunter (1832-1892). The pointed-arch doorway is entered through an arcade consisting of three pointed-arch entrances. The large west window above the entrance includes tracery, five lancet windows, and leadlight made in Melbourne by Brooke Robinson and installed in 1965. The entrance is flanked by two additional pointed-arch windows featuring three lancet windows each, as well as buttressed turrets.</p>
<p>George Bodley was a well-known architect working in the Gothic Revival style, and in particular he was influenced by late medieval architecture from England and northern Europe. His best known work is perhaps Magdalen College, Oxford.</p>

Holy Trinity Catholic Church is in the small Tasmanian town of Westbury.

Holy Trinity was consecrated in 1874 and the clock tower was added in 1901 as a memorial to Hogan. The cruciform church was designed by Henry Hunter (1832-1892) in the Gothic Revival style, in particular the Decorated Gothic style originally popular in England from c. 1270-1380. The church features buttresses, lancet windows, rose windows, a crenelated parapet and pointed corner finials on the tower, window tracery, and pointed arch doorways.
Irish-born James Hogan helped the convicted Irish nationalist activist John Mitchel (1815-1875) escape Tasmania in 1853.
