The rapid development of Wayville as a residential suburb has created a need for a public hall in which meetings and social gatherings could be held. At present the only building available for these purposes is a small room at the rear of the Baptist Church, which is too small for comfort.
Sketch plans of the proposed building have also been prepared. It is suggested that the building should consist of a capacious concert hall, a reading room, and a committee room. [Ref: Register 29-7-1904]
It was resolved that a building to be called the Wayville Institute, should be erected on the block of land which had been placed under offer to the committee by the South Australian Company for that purpose. [Ref: Register 1-8-1904]
In July last a meeting of residents of Wayville was held to consider a proposal to erect an institute in the district. At that meeting a financial scheme was formulated by Mr A S Hopkins (secretary), which provided for the issue of £200 worth of debentures of the value of £1, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent., to be redeemable at the end of eight years.
A block of land was obtained from the South Australian Company, and it was decided to erect a building, which, together with furniture and piano, was to cost about £650. Over £70 worth of scrip as taken up immediately, and on Thursday afternoon, when the Premier (Hon J G Jenkins) formally declared the building open, and incidentally inaugurated a three days' fair in aid of it, only £40 of the £200 was wanting.
From the inception of the scheme the residents enthusiastically supported it and have now every reason to be proud of the results of their efforts. The hall, which is built of freestone, with cement facings, measures 50 x 33 ft, and has a room at the back 32 x 14 ft for committee, literary society, football, and any other small meetings. Although at present in an unfinished state, the edifice possesses a fine appearance, and is a valuable acquisition to the architecture of the neighbourhood.

WAYVILLE SOLDIERS' MEMORIAL
A large and representative gathering of soldiers, relatives, and residents of the district were present at the Wayville Institute on Wednesday evening when a Soldiers' Memorial Porch was formally dedicated and a memorial tablet unveiled.

The Chairman of the Wayville Vigilance Committee (Mr. W C Torode) supervised the work, the money for which was raised by local subscription.

L V Duxbury

[Ref: Register 25-11-1920]

Carved giltwood screen in Lady Chapel, c1830, believed from Sion House, London.
THE LADY CHAPEL
Consecrated 7 Apr 1904, architect Mr.-E. J: Woods. When the chancel wall was demolished, the 2 triple windows (created by Wailes & Co 1876) were removed and given to Holy Trinity Adelaide and St Bartholomew’s Norwood. The new apse formed the Lady Chapel, funds being donated by Priscilla Simms in memory of her husband Dean Alfred Simms. Three new triple windows designed by John William Brown of Powell & Sons, Whitefriars were donated by Robert Barr Smith. The 2 windows removed had been dedicated to Bishop Augustus Short and Dean James Farrell & his wife Grace Montgomery; as are two of the new windows in the Lady Chapel.
“The builders are now engaged in laying the foundations of the lady chapel that is to be built behind the Cathedral out of a donation made by Mrs. Alfred Simms. Already the great north-western wall of the Cathedral has been pulled down, and the men have nearly finished excavating the vestries beneath the chapel. Two massive stone piers, three lofty archways, and a reredos 30 ft. high, will occupy the site of the old wall. The lady chapel will be in the shape of an octagon. It is to be built of Teatree Gully brown stone, with Murray-bridge freestone dressings.” [Advertiser 7 Feb 1903]
“lady chapel . . is the gift of Priscilla Simms, in grateful recognition of the gracious goodness of God and in memory of her husband, Alfred Simms. [Advertiser 30 Mar 1904]
“St. Peter's Cathedral . . . The spires to the Cathedral were built as the result of a donation of £10,000 by Mr. Barr Smith . . . [He] has also given three windows. . . The lady chapel and vestry are the gift of Mrs Simms, who is also giving a reredos.” [Advertiser 30 Mar 1904]
“The walls of the chapel are built mainly of brick, faced on the inside with dressed Murray River freestone, and externally with Teatree Gully freestone.” [Chronicle 2 Apr 1904]
“The question of stained glass for the central window was settled by Mr. Barr Smith generously offering to be responsible for the expense. Then a difficulty arose. Owing to the improvement in the art of staining glass which has taken place during the last quarter of a century, and other causes, the central window would be so greatly superior to those between which it would be placed that the harmonious effect of the whole would, be destroyed, and it would seem hardly on honour to the memory of Bishop Short and Dean Farrell that they should be represented by windows which would appear so inferior. The question then resolved itself into how to preserve the memorials to the late Bishop and Dean, and at the same time get over the difficulty which the stained glass presented. Mr. Barr Smith again generously came to the rescue, and offered to give new glass for all three windows, stipulating in the most emphatic terms that the two side windows were to be memorials to the late Bishop Short and Dean Farrell, and should bear the same inscriptions as at present.” [Register 1 Dec 1900]
Cathedral foundation stone 29 Jun 1869 by Bishop Augustus Short, opened 30 Mar 1876, first organ installed in north transept 1877, chancel & first part of nave consecrated 1 Jan 1878, tower & nave foundation stone 27 Sep 1890 by the Governor, Earl of Kintore, nave consecrated 14 Jul 1901, tower & spires dedicated 7 Dec 1902, Lady Chapel & crypt completed 7 Apr 1904, reredos dedicated 6 Mar 1910, front steps 1911, new organ dedicated 6 Jul 1930 in south transept, bells 29 Jun 1947.

Myrtaceae - Australia
Tea Tree
Shown: Foliage
"Leptospermum is a genus of about 80-86 species of plants in the myrtle family Myrtaceae. Most species are endemic to Australia, with the greatest diversity in the south of the continent; but one species extends to New Zealand, another to Malaysia, and L. recurvum is endemic to Malaysia.
"They are shrubs or occasionally small trees, reaching 1-8 m tall, rarely up to 20 m, with dense branching. The leaves are evergreen, alternate, simple, sharp-tipped, and small, in most species not over 1 cm long. The flowers are up to 3 cm diameter, with five white, pink or red petals." (Wikipedia)
