Lady Ottoline Morrell (born Ottoline Cavendish-Bentinck 1873-1938) was an aristocrat and Society hostess. She hosted literary and political gatherings at her homes in Bedford Square in Bloomsbury and at Garsington Manor in Oxfordshire. Morrell's social gatherings provided opportunities for Bloomsbury writers and artists to discuss ideas and meet patrons.
Morrell was a highly valued friend of the Bloomsbury Group. During the First World War she invited conscientious objectors such as Duncan Grant, Clive Bell and Lytton Strachey to take refuge at Garsington.

The extraordinary writers, artists and thinkers of the Bloomsbury Group had a profound effect on British art and literature. Prolific, passionate and hugely gifted, their story is just as compelling as the remarkable work they created.
This major exhibition, in partnership with York Museums Trust and the National Portrait Gallery, chronicles the lives, loves and work of the group during the first half of the 20th century. As well as celebrating the group’s key figures, including writer and feminist pioneer Virginia Woolf and her sister, painter Vanessa Bell, the displays shine a spotlight on their often overlooked peers and reflect on the group’s place in queer art history.
Displays feature paintings, sculpture, drawings and photographs by Bell and her contemporaries, including Dora Carrington, Roger Fry, Duncan Grant, Paul Nash, Gwen Raverat and Ray Strachey, alongside new work by contemporary artist, Sahara Longe, responding to the Bloomsbury artists.

“Rev. K. B. Webb, Missionary Chaplain to the Bishop of Adelaide, arrived at Streaky Bay by the mail on March 2, and preached. . . March 15, will be a memorable day in the Township of Flinders, as then the foundation-stone of the first building devoted to the worship of God in this scattered district was formally inserted in the walls of the nearly completed edifice. The ceremony of inserting the stone was performed by the Rev. Mr. Webb, . . dedicated to St. Augustine Bishop.” [Register 1 Apr 1869]
“The church is a substantial edifice of stone, with iron roof, in the pointed Gothic style of architecture. It is small and plain, to suit the numbers, requirements, and means of the place, but neat and comfortable.” [Evening Journal 27 May 1869]
“The Bishop of Adelaide, we are informed, returned on July 22 from Streaky Bay, where he consecrated the pretty little Church of St. Augustine.” [Evening Journal 23 Jul 1873]

Schools of Arts, Mechanics’ Institutes and Literary Institutes were an integral part of the early fabric of Australia society. Nearly every country town had its School of Arts and many still exist under different names reflecting their continuing role as centres of community activity – some ArtsNational societies hold their lectures in the local School of Arts building.
Following the establishment of the first Mechanics’ Institute in Hobart in 1827, the movement spread rapidly bringing wider education, culture, art and literature to communities throughout Australia.

James Powell & Sons, situated on the site of the former Whitefriars monastery, between the Thames and Fleet Street, was producing mainly flint glass when it was bought in 1834 by James Powell, a London wine merchant. On his death the firm passed to his three sons Arthur, Nathaniel and James Cotton Powell, who in 1844 established a stained glass department. The latter benefitted from the scientific researches of Charles Winston, a lawyer by profession, who had dedicated himself to the study of medieval stained glass. It had made him aware of the shortcomings of the glass available to contemporary artists, this being often thin and garish in colour. In 1847 he encouraged experiments aimed at rediscovering the chemical components of medieval glass and persuaded the firm of James Powell & Sons to produce 'antique' glass to his recipes. It was mainly due to this collaboration that the firm was to become one of the most important studios and glass manufacturers of the Victorian period.
