| 説明 | Keyneton.The town was named after English pastoralist Joseph Keynes, who took up the land in 1841 and whose descendants still continue to live and farm in the area. Joseph Keynes (1810-1883) was the eldest son of a Congregational minister in southern England. Joseph was educated by his father and decided to be a farmer. His father Richard Keynes wrote to George Fife Angas in 1838 seeking information on South Australia. Angas offered Joseph the position of overseer of his stock in South Australia. Joseph accepted, arrived in 1839 and managed the farm at Flaxman's Valley for Angas. In 1841 he leased property which became Keyneton Estate and remains in the family. His partnership with Angas was dissolved in 1843 and Keynes declared his bankruptcy in 1846, leaving Angas with £9,000 in debts, great resentment and injured pride. But by 1850 the once despairing farmer had become a member of the 'squattocracy', with land in the Barossa Ranges, the Wakefield River valley and at Mount Remarkable. Keynes systematically amassed thousands of acres, wealth and social respect, being a member of the North Rhine District Council from its formation in 1873 to 1883. He died in 1883 at Lockleys and was buried in the Congregational cemetery at Keyneton. His son Richard took over the property. On 27 August 1884 Keynes married Margaret Ruth Shannon of Moculta.In 1851 the Hundred of North Rhine was surveyed and land sold to farmers. Before that time a few leased land from the Angas family. Many new settlers to Keyneton from 1850 to 1854 were of German Lutheran descent from Tanunda and they quickly built a fine Georgian style school room in 1857 that doubled as a church until a new church was dedicated in 1866. It was on three acres of land donated by Henry Evans. Behind the church is a high bell tower erected in 1874 with a bell from Germany. Then in 1891 a new stone school room and church hall opened beside the 1866 church. It became a state school from 1917 to 1925 when the new government school opened in Keyneton opposite the old general store. Next to it is the Keyneton cemetery where members of the Evans and Keynes families were buried and many local Lutheran family members too. About one km northwards is the Independent Chapel built on land donated by Sarah Evans and supported by led by the Keynes and Evans families. It was built in 1865 and originally known as the North Rhine Independent Chapel. North Rhine River was changed to the Somme during World War One but has now been changed back. The Chapel became a Congregational Church in 1918 and finally closed as a church in 1971. Henry Evans married Sarah Angas a daughter of George Fife Angas and Henry Evans was the one who designed Collingrove and Lindsay Park homesteads for the Angas family. Henry’s wife was so opposed to alcohol and wine making that after her husband died in 1868 she got her son Henry Angas Evans to dig up or have the family wine vines grafted with currents. Thus, almost accidentally, young Henry Angas Evans founded the dried fruit industry in the Angaston-Keyneton district! To please his mother Henry Evans, with the support for John Howard and George Fife Angas, built the Temperance Hall in Keyneton in 1872. Keyneton was such a tiny town to have a Temperance Hall. After World War One the Romanesque style Temperance Hall was sold to a local group as a Soldiers War Memorial Hall. Thus the 1920 wooden entrance porch contrasts greatly with the Romanesque style of the original Temperance Hall. A km north again is the main part of the town with the state government primary school built 1925. But the first town school was built in 1859 with a stone classroom. It became a state school after 1875. It closed in 1912 but the Lutheran School became a state school in 1917 so children were able to attend it until the new state school opened in 1925. The Temperance Hotel (also known as a coffee palace) on the corner of the main intersection was built by Sarah Evans to prevent alcohol sales in Keyneton in 1884. She died in 1898 and then things slowly changed. The Temperance Hotel operated until 1948 mainly providing lodgings for casual workers, school teachers etc. On the other corner is the former Post Office and general store. It opened in 1866 and was owned by the Evans family from 1888 to 1940 with tenant storekeepers. The Art Deco style façade on the western side was built in 1955 when it was a Four Square Store. Just north of the intersection is the old blacksmith’s shop which was built in 1870. One German pioneering family of the township was the Henschke family. The family began selling their wine in 1868. Another Henschke (1888-1955) was a skilled stone mason. Henschke scaled up the models and carved the Angaston marble reliefs of angels in situ for the South Australian War Memorial on North Terrace. He did this between 1927 and 1931 and it was his major achievement. He also carved the Corinthian pillars on Parliament House in 1938. He carved war memorials at Tanunda (1920) and Freeling (1923). He painted many buildings including the interior decoration of the church of Gnadenberg at Moculta and the Alawoona Lutheran church. One of his last works was the base of the equestrian statue of King George V which was unveiled in 1956. |
