| 説明 | Hindmarsh All Saints Anglican Church.This early Anglican Church has several associations with Bishop Augustus Short. Firstly it is a very early South Australian Anglican church and secondly he laid the foundation stone of this church (not the church hall) near the rectory in November 1849. He was assisted by Lady Augusta Young the wife of the Governor. It was part of Bishop Short’s move to have as many Anglican churches as possible erected and established. Thirdly this church is important as it was designed by the architect Henry Stuckey whom Bishop Short got to design Bishops Court in North Adelaide and Christ Church and its rectory. It is one of just six known Anglican churches designed by Stuckey and of those six only four remain standing. Bishop Short brought architectural plans with him from England for Christ Church, the rectory and Bishops Court but he employed architect Henry Stuckey to supervise the construction of all buildings and to make alterations as needed. In the end it is not clear how much Short’s English designs were altered and changed by Stuckey but certainly the local limestone and bricks gave all of the Stuckey supervised buildings a very South Australian appearance. This Hindmarsh Church is an excellent example of Stuckey’s work with the use of local limestone (even for the foundations) and red brick quoins and Romanesque windows. The rear part of the church, the chancel and vestry was added in 1872. Look and you will see that bluestone was then being used for foundations although the design of Stuckey was replicated beautifully for this addition. The same cannot be said for the slightly ugly red brick porch added in 1925. Next to the church is the early rectory with later additions half sunk into the ground for cooler rooms in the summer and the church hall built in 1883.The church hall was designed by architect Daniel Garlick. Both the hall and the church are now used as theatres. |
