| 説明 | Woodchester , Hartley Vale Methodist Church Ruins and Salem Lutheran Church. The land here was purchased in 1841 by the attorney of William Leigh of Staffordshire England. He was the man who donated extensively to the Catholic and Anglican Churches in Adelaide and gave the city Leigh Street. (Leigh Street is still a privately owned street and was never part of Colonel William Light’s city plan.) Leigh was a great investor and speculator in SA. His attorney was Edward Peake who later ran the first winery at Clarendon. Nothing happened with the land here until Leigh had it subdivided and sold in 1856. Leigh’s grand English residence was called Woodchester Park and so the settlement here was also named Woodchester. A school opened here in 1859 as wheat farmers moved into the district. It operated until 1941. A Primitive Methodist Church opened in 1863 and closed in 1963. The settlement is noted for its fine stone walls. The Richardson Memorial Hall on the main road opened in 1941. Hartley was a small not well know locality established by a group of Methodist families in the 1850s. The Wesleyan Methodist Church which is now in ruins opened in 1856 which was when the farmers first took up land here. It closed in 1895 and was sold in 1901 after the union of the three Methodist churches in 1900. Later a school started in Hartley but it is now a residence. It operated from 1919 to 1970. A Post Office opened here in 1867 and did not close until 1981. There is almost nothing at Hartley these days but this fertile area along the Bremer River once had a creamery 1894-1906 , an Agricultural Bureau Branch 1893-1994, and a eucalyptus distillery 1931-37. At one time the road from Callington to Wellington was proposed to go through Hartley and to be called Chauncey’s Line Road (1851) but the final decision favoured another route to Wellington. Hartley is not to be confused with Hartley Vale near Gumeracha. Hartley could have been named after one of the South Australian Company ships that brought settlers out to SA in the 1830s called the Hartley which arrived in 1837 with its first load of immigrants. But the Methodists were not the only settlers as a large German background group also settled at Hartley. They established a Lutheran Church nearby called Salem or Peace church in 1856. The Germans were led by the Jaensch family who settled here in 1853. Another original settler family was the Thiele family who had also escaped from religious persecution in Germany and had arrived at Port Melbourne in 1853. They arrived not long after at Salem near Callington. The German settlers opened their own language and day school here in 1865 and it operated through to 1936, the SA Centenary year. The original 1856 church was replaced in 1890 with the fine stone structure which is still standing today. It has an impressive tower and is still used weekly. Their first Lutheran pastor in 1856 was Christian Gottlieb Teichelmann (1807-1888) the missionary and worker with aboriginal people. Teichelmann had left Salem within ten years. He is best remembered for his publication: Aboriginals of South Australia: Illustrative and Explanatory Note of the Manners, Customs, Habits and Superstitions of the Natives of South Australia which was published early in 1841. He eventually retired to Stansbury as a farmer. Salem Church is not to be confused with Salem Lutheran Church Angaston. Below: Salem Lutheran church 1890; Hartley Vale Wesleyan Methodist 1856-1895; |
