St. Paul's Church of England in Maryborough and its bell tower, ca.1920

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The current building is the third church on this site. The first was a slab structure, built in 1852, and moved to the current site when the early settlers moved to its current Maryborough location. A wooden church replaced the earlier structure and was dedicated on 27/5/1866. The Foundation stone of the current church was laid by Sir Arthur Kennedy in March 1878, with the church opened on 30/8/1879 by Bishop Hale and Bishop Stanton of North Queensland. The Bell Tower was built in 1887. The Church celebrated 130 years of worship on 6/9/2009 with Bishop Jonathan Holland presiding. The Foundation stone of the current church was laid by Sir Arthur Kennedy in March 1878. A plaque on the bell tower records: This Tower with Peal of Nine Bells was erected by the bereaved husband and children to the Honour and Glory of God and in memory of Mrs. Maria Aldridge, Late of Baddow House, Maryborough, a communicant of St Pauls Church.

    "Dunlop Tyres in stock here" says a small sign on the building beside that bicycle.

    The Clock House was build around 1855, by Sir Denham Orlando Jephson. He was an amateur architect who is said to have designed this house after he had returned from an alpine holiday. The Clock was brought from the tower of the Old Mallow Castle. The bell was cast at Millerd Street, Cork. The bell tower became dangerous and was removed c1970, but was restored in 1995.

    Actually, that is not a bell tower but a reinforced dunny, for the wind and rain that Winter will bring.

    The NIAH says:

    Freestanding Church of Ireland church, built 1828 and extended in 1890 and 1913 - 5, comprising four-bay nave, single-bay chancel to the east (added 1890) and three-stage tower (on square-plan) to the west (added 1913)

    Also:
    The chancel and the clasping buttresses were added in 1890

    So, 1890-1913

    That obeliskular gravestone looks well kept, might have a date...

    The size suggests either a prominent family or perhaps a clergyman.
