21. NORTH NAVE WINDOWS

NNaveWindows

The two detailed windows at left are of Bavarian design. The third window shows a lamp and the text ‘Thy Word is a Lamp’ and was given in memory of Susan Louisa Basham who died 2/5/1940. The fourth window contains inserts from a replacement East window. We shall see (#28) there is a plaque dedicating this window in 1974 to the memory of the Founders of the Church and the District Pioneers.        INDEX

 

22. SOUTH NAVE WALL

There are just three windows in this wall, with some space being taked up by the doorway through to the vestry. There is also a memorial plaque, and a banner.

At the Eastern end of the South wall is a small Crucifix. There is also a carved wooden statue of the Madonna and Child, donated by Mrs Iris Hearne and positioned in the southern window alcove, and beneath it, a turned wooden holder and stand for votive candles, made by parishioner Dr John Rice OAM.

 

26. PEWS AND LECTERN

PewKneelersLectern

The cedar pews were built by Samuel Trigg, 1855. I was interested in the individual wooden kneelers. The cedar lectern was built and inlaid by George Roads, who also crafted the altar.

 

27. ORGAN

Organ

The pipe organ, built by George Stephens especially for St Jude’s, was the gift of the Carter family. It was dedicated in memory of John Vernon Carter (1894-1968) and Muriel Carter (1896-1973) by Bishop Graham Walden, Bishop of the Murray, at the Patronal Festival on 29 October, 1995. The organist was Professor David Galliver.

 

28. PASCHAL CANDLE AND FONT

The Paschal candle stands close by, near a plaque for the adjacent window. In the corner is a small wooden font. This movable wooden font was gifted in 2014 in memory of Joshua Edwin Pokery.

 

29. PULPIT

Pulpit

The pulpit was made as a memorial to the Rev. Jagger and Gerard Wood, a generous benefactor of St Jude’s. Notice the framed picture and brass plate on the shelf behind.

 

30. SANCTUARY AREA

Sanctuary

Finally we investigate the sanctuary area. The panelling was dedicated in memory of Reginald G. Trigg and Eric M. Trigg, sons of John and Emily Trigg (grandsons of John and Ann Trigg). The altar candlesticks were gifted in memory of John O. Whitmore by Mrs Whitmore.

 

31. SOUTH SANCTUARY

These two items of interest are on the South side of the sanctuary (#29). Above the credence table at right is a brass platten. At left is a depiction of St Veronica's handkerchief, given by Mrs F.B. Hewitson. It is said that in the original painting the eyes of Christ can be seen to open; I'm not sure that this is true of this photograph!

 

32. PAINTINGS

NFrontPaintingsJCTeachingAtTempleReynoldsInfantSamuel

On the left of the altar is ‘The Boy Christ - Teaching in the Temple’, a portion of a painting by Heinrich Hoffman, commemorating the ministry of The Revd Thomas M. Boyer, 1891-1933. The picture on the right by Sir Joshua Reynolds is entitled ‘The Infant Samuel’ and shows the calling of Samuel. It was dedicated to the memory of The Revd Robert F. Jagger.

 

33. SANCTUARY LAMP AND BELL

SanctuaryLampBell

The sanctuary lamp was gifted in memory of Eva S. Gray by her daughter Mrs G. Cornish in 1946. The credence table was made by T.W. Roach of Adelaide and gifted by Mrs Swan c1884. The little bell is used during services.

 

34. ALTAR

Altar

The brass railing was given in memory of Alison May Crawford, c1940. by Mrs Swan c1884. The altar was made by George Roads of Yankalilla and gifted by Mrs Swan c1884.

 

35. EAST WINDOW

EWindow

The East window was built by F.X. Zettler, München, Germany. It was installed in St Jude's in 1879 in memory of Edward William Andrews, the gift of his wife. The top pictures are of Christ and the disciples from Emmaus (Luke 24:13–32). The bottom pictures tell the story of the woman who touched the hem of Christ’s garment and was ‘made whole’ (Matthew 9:20-22).

 

36. CROSS AND CHRIST

CrossAndScene

Our final view is of the Cross before the East window showing the ministry of Christ. When the window arrived from Germany the face of Christ in the top panel was cracked. A replacement section was sent from Germany and on arrival was found to be cracked in almost the same manner, and the incorrect size. The face was built into a window created in 1895 for the North wall (#21). This completes our tour.
