The building of St Mary’s dates from around 1100. The tower is original Norman, but the remainder of the church was rebuilt in the 1830s after a storm blew in the roof in 1832.
The following is the text provided in the church’s grade II listed entry:
Church: Late C12 tower embattled c1911, nave rebuilt c1832 retaining inner medieval walls, chancel rebuilt and extended c1834 by Joseph Furness, a local mason. Large dressed stone to tower, hammr.dressed stone to body of church with stone slate roof. Gothic Revival style. West tower, nave, chancel, 3-stage embattled tower has battered plinth, roll-moulded strings. West face has lancet window to 1st stage, clock to 2nd stage and 2 light plate tracery belfry windows recessed inside elliptical arches and having colonnettes with cushion-headed capitals. Battlements have corner pinnacles. Weathervane. Earlier steeply-pitched roofline visible on east-face. Nave has 3 bays of 2-light windows with trefoil heads and curvilinear tracery. Between 1st two bays gabled porch c1911. North facade of nave has 3 semicircular relieving arches, possibly from earlier church to aisle arcade now gone, blocked with 2-light traceried windows as front. Chancel set back from nave but roofed continuously has 5 bays. lst-bay has 3-light window with intersecting Y-tracery. Other windows of 2 lights as nave. Priests’ door in 5th bay with small Y-traceried window above. On North facade of chancel, set between 1st and 2nd bay, priests’ door with pointed-arch and oak studded door. 5-light east window with intersecting Y-tracery. small added north vestry gabled and at right angles with chimney and coped gable.
Interior: single vessel, the nave separated from chancel by semicircular arch. Oldest feature the tower arch: 2-centred with inner arch with chamfered octagonal piers with moulded capitals. Moulded plaster cornice, flat ceiling with rose c1830s. Chancel retains fine Jacobean pulpit of good work, octagonal with interlaced guillouche decoration and arcaded panels. Fine reused C15 bench ends to choir-stalls with carved rectilinear tracery and good carved poppy-heads. Vestry has walls panelled with remains of finely carved C17 box-pews. Window above Priests’ door made up of fragments of medieval stained glass. Other C19 stained glass memorial windows. Some memorials from earlier church, the best to Christopher Hodgson c1726. Royal Coat of Arms (on canvas) to George I.
Mentioned in Domesday Book c1086 and was granted by William, 2nd Earl Warenne, between 1121 and 1127 to the newly-forwed Priory of Augustinian Canons at Nostell. The Canons set up a small cell serving Woodkirk Church until the Dissolution in 1539 when it later fell into the hands of the Saviles. Excavations have revealed a courtyard over 50ft square with adjacent buildings. There was also a garden, an orchard and a stone dovecote with fishponds below the church which served as reservoirs for the watermills. St. Michael’s, East Ardsley (q.v.) was a chapel dependent on Woodkirk.
North nave window by Heaton, Butler & Bayne, c1911, depicting the Holy Family presided over by an angel.
St Paul's church at Woodhouse Eaves dates back to 1837 when it was built to the designs of William Railton and subsequently altered with transept extensions in 1880. It is a substantial 19th century church with a west tower and a wide nave flanked by double-transepts and a narrower chancel beyond, all in a pseudo-Early-English style with lancet windows throughout.
The inside is light and spacious and feels a well loved and maintained church. There is a good mixture of Victorian glass in many of the windows, but the most rewarding here are the smaller pair of Arts & Crafts windows in the chancel by Theodora Salusbury.
Woodhouse Eaves church is probably normally kept locked like most in the area outside of service times, but is worth seeing inside if at all possible.

`Olinda was built on land subdivided in the late 1880s as the Fairfield Hill Estate, which was.
originally as part of Crown Portion 101 purchased by W F A Rucker in 1840.1 Allotments were.
sold by auctioneer Mr Robertson, of Carlton, in February of 1885. Robertson boasted that the estate.
was adjacent to the Borough Council’s offices, in the old Wesleyan Schoolroom (qv), and lay.
between the Dandenong’s and the Fairfield Hill allotments, constituting a grand view..
William G Swift, the new town clerk of Northcote Borough, purchased two of these allotments from.
L Oldfield in1 1885. Swift replaced Goodwin as Town Clerk in Northcote in1885, after he served at Collingwood. Soon after his arrival in the new suburb of Northcote in April 1886 he had established.
a real estate agency which had ceased business by 1887, when he commenced construction of Olinda..
Swift lived at Olinda for forty years, retiring from his position as town clerk and treasurer in 1923.

Waterside Workers’ Federation Building
The Amalgamated Workers’ Association was formed in the late 1800s and the need for adequate headquarters was felt early this century. The foundation stone was laid in October 1911 by the Hon John Verran. The building was the headquarters of the Amalgamated Workers' Association whose members in Port Pirie had contributed 2d each per week towards the building fund. The Waterside Worker's Federation took over the building not long after it was completed. A cooperative store and bakery was set up in the ground floor of the building and rooms and hall were on the first floor.
Amalgamated Workers
Opening a New Hall
Port Pirie June 25
J Firmin Jenkins was the architect of this fine new hall in Florence Street, built for the Amalgamated Workers’ Association (the wharf workers) was opened by the Hon J Verran (leader of the Opposition yesterday. Shortly after 10 am the Excelsior Viceregal Band, under Bandmaster Gummow, and led by Drum Major O’Connell. headed a procession of the AWA who formed up opposite the hall and marched along the thoroughfares, returning by way of Alexandra Street. Nearly 300 members took part.
On the return of the procession the opening ceremony took place from the balcony of the new hall. A large crowd had assembled and despite a drizzling rain maintained its stand. The interior of the building was gaily festooned with bunting, which formed a striking contrast to the white masonry.
Mr Coffey, in introducing Mr Verran said when the foundation stone was laid last year by Mr Verran a promise, had been given that he would also declare the hall open. Unfortunately Mr Verran was out of office, but they had not turned him out but had asked him to preside that day. The workers of the Port had watched with interest the building of the hall. Although some of the so-called liberals had said it was too good for them, they knew that nothing was too good for the AWA.
Mr Verran, who was cordially received, said, although they sympathised with him in his position, he did not desire any sympathy, for he and his colleagues realised that it was far better to go out of office than do anything mean. They were not kicked out but went out. This they much preferred to sacrificing their principles. Their confidence in the success of their unity had been shown in the building of that handsome structure. That building had been erected so that the workers might gather to transact their business. and be their own landlord. That was far better than being liable to be turned out at the will of an owner.
The workers had as much right as the churches to have a building of their own. He hoped they would be honest men and not mean, Every stone in that hall was a monument to the living fundamental principles of the workers of South Australia, and the edifice would stand for the use of generations to come.
Mr Goode thanked the AWA for their invitation to be present. The hall was indeed a monument to their credit. He hoped it would be not only a meeting-place for the AWA, but for all the unions of Port Pirie. He was sorry it was not a Trades Hall, but the AWA, was to be congratulated upon being able to carry their efforts to so successful a conclusion.
Their lady friends had rendered loyal and excellent service. and the value of the furniture had been enhanced by the addition of a piano. The ladies had been largely instrumental in bringing the movement to a successful issue.
After a short interval a dinner was held in the council hall.
In the evening a social and dance were held in the Institute.

Amalgamated Workers' Association Hall c1911
After paying £529 for the land a contract was signed with Messrs Jones, Crawford and Dunlop for the building of the hall in Florence Street.
The foundation stone was laid by the Premier of South Australia, the Hon J Verran, on 4 October 1911.
On Saturday 22 June 1912 the hall was opened by the Hon J Verran M.P. Leader of the Opposition
A man sits outside the inn, with a sign visible listing John Street as licensee, listed as such in the 1911 census, aged 52. It is now called the Whipping Stocks Inn. At first, we thought “John Street” might be the name of the road, but thanks to the detective work of a twitter follower we now have the true location!

c1911 postcard view of the new C. G. Conn Musical Instrument Company’s factory at Elkhart, Indiana. This factory replaced the one destroyed by fire. The 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Elkhart shows the new factory on the south side of Elkhart Avenue (later renamed Beardsley Avenue) at the Rawlins Street (later renamed Conn Avenue) intersection. However, the factory is labeled “To Be C. G. Conn Musical Inst. Co.” on the map sheet dated August 1910. This view was looking southeast across the intersection of Elkhart Avenue and Rawlins Street.
Numerous bicycles were leaning against the front and side of the building.

OLD PORT ADELAIDE, OLD SHIPS, AND OLD IDENTITIES.
By W. J. PURVIS.
The North Parade was then the shopping centre.
This section describes North Parade from Commercial Road west to Nelson Street
The old Custom house stood on the site of the present Custom House. and was after wards used as the institute. I was the first assistant librarian in the old building under Mr. Arthur Rose.
Next west was the post office, and then came two shops - Johnson's leather store, and Chas. Downer's pharmacy. At the rear was Lamb & Paqualin's office, facing Mildred street.
Across Mildred-street was Ford's Hotel. Then came Hamilton brothers' drapery, afterwards Ballantyne's. There was an archway through which was Peter Schourup's photographic studio, Fauldings chemist shop, afterwards Hustlers, Jas. Grosse, grocer, A. and A.T. Scarfe grocers and ironmongers. John Smith Ship Inn, Lavin, baker, E.J. Butler and Co. bootmakers, T. Blackney, grocer and Mrs. Blake, fancy goods, on the corner.
This section describes North Parade from Nelson Street West to Hart's Mill and Port River.
Across the road west was Russell's British Hotel, and next Mrs. Middleton's Furniture Emporium, several small shops, and William Haddy's boot shop, "Stick Jaw Bird's" toffee shop, and Allen's butcher's shop.
Across Hare street was Mr. Stephen Haddy's cabinetmaker's shop. He was also the leading undertaker for many years, and father of the evergreen J.C. Haddy of Grenfell street, who has just passed his 84th milestone. (J.C. was once our lieutenant in the old Port Adelaide artillery under Captain Hugh Quin). Next to Mr. Haddy's were South Australian Company's cottages on high stumps and on the corner opposite Hart's Mill was Tom Yeo's hotel.
This Section of North Parade precinct is around northern end of Commercial Road.
Captain Simpson's coal heap was near the Central Ferry steps, and a weighbridge near the present flagstaff. Passing the ferry steps were the old company's gates, with John Newman's store on the corner.
The Memorial Chapel.
Window by Frederick Charles Eden (1864-1944).
The Three Marias, c1911.
Three windows in the Curzon Chapel feature saints named Maria (or Mary). They were inspired by Lady Curzon’s Christian name.
Frederick Charles Eden was an architect and a pupil of William Butterfield and of George Frederick Bodley. He often designed the glass and other fittings for his own buildings and in 1910 began making his own windows.

Detail of south aisle window by Clayton & Bell c1911
St Mary & St Chad's at Brewood (pronounced 'Brood') is very grand building in warm red sandstone with a soaring west steeple, though externally at least the nave appears largely Victorian, especially the eccentric outer south aisle with it's sequence of gables (echoing a lost medieval feature apparently); The chancel is clearly Early English, with lancets aplenty.
Within it is a large, cavernous space, the eye is drawn to the chancel with it's reredos and tombs, and the odd arrangement in the south aisles with their extra arcade. Here are two fonts, a simple post-Reformation one and a 'more correct' Victorian one which seems to have been demoted. Nearby is late medieval incised slab, sadly more worn, and a charming mid 17th century coloured wall monument to the Moreton family with miniature couples & children facing each other.
The real gem here however is the collection of Giffard tombs in the chancel, alabaster effigies galore, mid 16th century to early 17th, with a twosome and threesome on each side of the chancel respectively, and an extensive array of weepers (most of them appear to be shrouded babies on the earliest tomb, all surreally shown the same size as the few children who survived into adulthood).
This is a highly rewarding church, and happily, unlike many in this area, is kept open and welcoming to visitors.

On the corner of O'Connell Street and Barton Terrace, the Caledonian was established in 1869.
‘FAREWELL TO SOLDIERS.
At the Caledonian Hotel, North Adelaide, on Friday evening, a farewell social was tendered by North Adelaide tramway employees to Tprs. H. Daulby and H. Gundersen. who are departing with the 8th Battalion A.C.H. There was a large attendance, and the proceedings were of an enthusiastic character. Tpr. J. Hazzlin, E. Hudd, and R. O'Dea were also present. Mr. J. Bradley presided, and referred to the esteem in which the departing soldiers were held. It spoke volumes for the popularity of the young fellows to see such a large crowd present that evening, and he hoped that when they returned there would be another reception awaiting them. Some people were of the opinion that they would not have any fighting to do, but he believed that much work remained to be done in South Africa. He felt sure that they would do their duty, and hoped they would return to North Adelaide in the best of health and spirits, and covered with glory. These remarks were enthusiastically received, and the cheering was prolonged when Tprs. Daulby, Gunderson, and Hazzlin suitably replied. After the loyal toasts had been honoured, an enjoyable musical programme was carried out. Messrs. W. Goodger, J. Ward, A. McNicol, and H. Renfrey contributed songs. Mr. E. R. McCarthy gave a recitation and some lightning sketches, while a youth called Kingko did some clever balancing feats. Messrs. L, Renfrey and . J. Ward acted as accompanists. The singing of Auld Lang Syne concluded the Social. Much of the success of which was duo to the arrangements of Messrs. E. Wright and A. Bradley. '

Hotel Dupont, Marcola, Oregon, c 1911.
Edward D. Dupont moved to Marcola circa 1909 and built this hotel in 1910 or 1911. It was located southeast of the old grade school, with this property eventually becoming part of the grade school property and used as a playground area. It was located just inside the corner of Whitmore and Alcorn streets in modern Marcola.
Being near the railroad depot, he catered to the business traveler. His advertisements stated: "The place traveling men call home. Everything first class. Rates reasonable."
At 4:30 p. m. on February 29, 1936, the hotel burned to the ground due to what was presumed to be a flue fire. At that time it was owned by Mrs. Alice Rentala and just went by the moniker "Marcola Hotel". At that time, it was mostly a boarding house for men who worked in the Fischer mill just to the west.
If you know the year this hotel was built, please comment.

This concrete block building still stands on the west corner at George and Sycamore streets. The 1892, 1899 and 1909 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets for Batesville all show this corner vacant and show that Shelby Street was known as Greeman Street back then. One Batesville history source¹ says the building was constructed in 1911.

Nearby is late medieval incised slab, sadly more worn, and a charming mid 17th century coloured wall monument to the Moreton family with miniature couples & children facing each other.
The real gem here however is the collection of Giffard tombs in the chancel, alabaster effigies galore, mid 16th century to early 17th, with a twosome and threesome on each side of the chancel respectively, and an extensive array of weepers (most of them appear to be shrouded babies on the earliest tomb, all surreally shown the same size as the few children who survived into adulthood).
This is a highly rewarding church, and happily, unlike many in this area, is kept open and welcoming to visitors.
