St Paul’s is the official Cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne. It was built in a Victorian Gothic style to the design of prominent English architect William Butterfield. The foundation stone was laid in 1880 and the Cathedral was consecrated just over a decade later when the initial stage of the building was completed in 1891. Butterfield oversaw the building remotely until 1884, when he resigned following disputes with the Church authorities in Melbourne. The remainder of the construction was supervised by well-known local architect Joseph Reed. Construction of the Cathedral’s three towers and distinctive neo-gothic spires began in 1926. They were designed by Sydney architect John Barr, and are not in keeping with Butterfield’s more modest original plans. Other distinctive architectural features of St Paul’s include its multiple lancet windows, decorative blind tracery, chequered tiling on the wall above the entrance and elaborate stained glass processional doors inside the entrance doorway. The cathedral interior is notable for its horizontally striped pattern, which is based on a design from thirteenth century Siena Cathedral.

Central to the design is a golden Celtic harp on blue shield (c. 13th century) representing owner Samuel Wilson’s Irish roots. This is flanked by his initials (S W), and the year (AD 1862). A ‘diapered’ medieval floral grid pattern dominates the background, and alternate blue and white flowers attached to golden stems and leaves, occupy the red outer borders. Beverley Sherry points out that, “The nineteenth-century pioneers of Victoria’s pastoral districts had a strong sense of family pride and this was [often] expressed in stained glass” (Australia’s Historic Stained Glass, Sydney, Murray Child, 1991, p.37). The colourful ‘Longerenong’ window provides an excellent example of such expression.

The window depicts three well-known medieval writers: Geoffrey Chaucer (l), the jurist John Fortescue (c), and James I of Scotland (r). Each of the three figures is fully &lsquo;canopied,&rsquo; a self-conscious nineteenth-century &lsquo;medievalism&rsquo; that lends an ecclesiastical dignity to the overall composition. The Great Hall at the University of Sydney is functionally a place of assembly, and its appearance is strikingly similar to the choir of a medieval church. The Hall is designed to invoke the ambience, seriousness, and sense of achievement of the great medieval seats-of-learning established at Oxford and Cambridge. The collection of windows gathered within its walls is one of the finest anywhere in Australia, and encompasses a variety of themes, including those of learning, patronage, royalty and corporate endeavour.</p> To view this and other stained glass windows from the Great Hall and Quadrangle, see: <a href="http://sydney.edu.au/senate/Quadrangle_decorative_features_stained_glass.shtml%20" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://sydney.edu.au/senate/Quadrangle_decorative_features_stained_glass.shtml </span></a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource White, David Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Unknown Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource © David White (photo) Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Hyperlink Author canopy education Geoffrey Chaucer (1340-1400) Gothic Revival Great Hall James I of Scotland (1394-1437) John Fortescue (1394-1476) learning literature medieval neo-Gothic New South Wales NSW quadrangle stained glass Sydney The University of Sydney university university buildings window writer https://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/files/original/1f7eb9ac50340d70fe1c5701f0e2691f.jpg de30c4ca676c9995e3b9381005a2070f Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Title A name given to the resource ‘The Seasons window,’ Mandeville Hall, Toorak Subject The topic of the resource autumn, country, cupid, David Relph Drape, Diana, Ferguson & Urie, foliage, frieze, harvest, Joseph Clarke, landscape, nature, nostalgia, Romanesque, Saint George, seasons, spring, St George, stained glass, stairwell, summer, Toorak, VIC, Victoria, window, winter Description An account of the resource This staircase ‘Seasons’ window at Mandeville Hall in Toorak was designed by David Relph Drape and created by Ferguson & Urie for the original owner, millionaire Joseph Clarke, in 1877. The circular medallions in the centre of the window depict scenes of the four different seasons, beginning with winter. The idyllic country scenes that fill the main medallions are of typically English views, and doubtless served, as Beverley Sherry suggests, as “persuasive [and ‘nostalgic’] reminders of ‘home’” (Australia’s Historic Stained Glass, Sydney, Murray Child, 1991, p.39). The figures to the left and right of the medallions also represent the four seasons, and feature banners identifying which season they represent. Clarke’s initials appear on the central lower border flanked by curved floral motifs that were probably adapted from classical Roman frieze work. There is also a star-studded cross of St George at each of the corners. In this way, classical Rome, medievalism, and British imperialism appear as natural offshoots of the other. This decorative and largely opaque window is intricately patterned with entwined foliage, and dominated by figural seasonal vignettes. It is crowned by a semi-circular top light (another concession to the architectural ‘Romanesque’ or Norman style) containing a reclining Diana, and Cupid holding a bow.

The panel’s outer edge is framed by an eye-catching ‘floral-rod’ pattern in spiral form. The window is divided into three segments (l, m, r) separated by wide vertical stripes with red roses on rigid leafy stems (x 2). The window contains the house’s construction date (1873) and owner John Dixon Wyselaskie’s initials. The patterned background is an adapted medieval ‘rigid’ leaf and flower head design. The window is in a prominent position and would easily be seen by staff and clients alike. At night it would offer a welcoming glow to visitors and guests. An expensive ‘Baronial’ window such as this bears silent testimony to the wealth and social standing of its owner - in this case the pastoralist and philanthropist J. D. Wyselaskie.

Title A name given to the resource St Peter’s East Window, SCEGGS Great Hall, Darlinghurst, Sydney Subject The topic of the resource Canopy, Christ, Christianity, Darlinghurst, Empire, Ferguson & Urie, geometric patterning, Great Hall, medallion, medieval design, New South Wales, NSW, quarries, SGEGGS, school, school buildings, St Peter’s Church, Stained glass, Sydney, Sydney Girls Grammar School, window Description An account of the resource An image of the East Window in the Great Hall at Sydney Girls Grammar School (SGEGGS) in Darlinghurst, Sydney. The window was originally installed in St Peter’s church in 1867, but the church has since been incorporated into the School Hall. It is the only known Ferguson & Urie window in Sydney. Depictions of Christ and the disciples in lozenge and mandorla medallions stand out amidst a richly patterned geometrical background. This window employs several medieval design and glazing techniques, notably: 12th century lancets, the use of ‘diapered’ background quarries, extensive geometric patterning, and painted figures restricted to ‘mandorla’ and lozenge-shaped medallions. Note the comparatively larger, central figure of Christ standing under the imitation c. 14th century canopy. While not limited to a medieval primary colour scheme, the overall feeling and tone of this window is decidedly one of an adventurous medievalism. Such a window transmits the essence of the gospel message in visual narrative form, to the effect that the contents of each medallion can quite easily be ‘read’ by onlookers. The twin themes of Empire and Christianity merge seamlessly within the context of the window’s Neo-Gothic medievalism.

Construction of the spires began in 1926. This was thirty years after the initial building had been completed, and consequently they are slightly darker in colour than the sandstone used for the rest of the Cathedral. They were designed by Sydney architect James Barr, and differ from the more modest single spire and two towers proposed by the Cathedral’s original architect, William Butterfield. In the early twentieth century, these spires dominated the Melbourne skyline. About St Paul’s Cathedral: St Paul’s Cathedral is located at the intersection of Flinders Street and Swanston Street in central Melbourne. It was built in a Victorian Gothic architectural style to the design of prominent English architect William Butterfield. The foundation stone was laid in 1880 and the Cathedral was consecrated in 1891. Butterfield oversaw the building remotely until 1884, when he resigned following disputes with the Church authorities in Melbourne. The remainder of the construction was supervised by well-known local architect Joseph Reed. Other distinctive features of St Paul’s include its multiple lancet windows, decorative blind tracery, chequered tiling on the wall above the entrance and elaborate stained glass processional doors inside the entrance doorway.
