Created in 1863 as a memorial to Edmund William Johnson Bardin by Melbourne stained glass manufacturer Ferguson and Urie, the Holy Family stained glass window may be found at the north end of the nave, to the right of the ornate baptismal font. The window has a pair on the left. The window depicts the Holy Family. In the foreground, Mary holds Jesus in her lap. To the right stands Mary's pot with the letter M monogrammed upon it, from which springs the Annunciation lily, which represents Mary's purity. Behind them in the mid ground, Joseph sits in prayer looking sombre, perhaps as a result of his dream where an angel told him to flee to Egypt with his family to protect Jesus from King Herod's murderous plans.
Edmund William Johnson Bardin died on the 17th of August 1863 according to the beautiful brass plaque below the Holy Family window dedicated to him. Interestingly enough, whilst he died in Brunswick, he appears not to have been a member of the congregation. Records from the Londonderry Sentinel indicate that he was from Emerald Downs in Queenland. Edmund Bardin was the youngest son of the Reverend Charles Bardin (who was for many years the Rector of Derryloran, Cookstown, Diocese of Armagh in Ireland) and his wife Julia Helena Hodgkinson. His brother Alfred Thackeray Purdon Bardin has a memorial window next to him of the presentation of Jesus at the Temple on the opposite side of the baptismal font in Christ Church, Brunswick.
Christ Church, built almost on the corner of Glenlyon Road and Brunswick Street in Brunswick, is a picturesque slice of Italy in inner city Melbourne. With its elegant proportions, warm yellow stuccoed facade and stylish Romanesque campanile, the church would not look out of place sitting atop a rise in Tuscany, or being the centre of an old walled town. This idea is further enhanced when the single bell rings from the campanile, calling worshipers to prayer.
Christ Church has been constructed in a cruciform plan with a detached campanile. Although not originally intended as such, at its completion, the church became an excellent example of "Villa Rustica" architecture in Australia. Like other churches around the inner city during the boom and bust eras of the mid Nineteenth Century as Melbourne became an established city, the building was built in stages between 1857 and 1875 as money became available to extend and better what was already in existence. Christ Church was dedicated in 1857 when the nave, designed by architects Purchas and Swyer, was completed. The transepts, chancel and vestry were completed between 1863 and 1864 to the designs created by the architects' firm Smith and Watts. The Romanesque style campanile was also designed by Smith and Watts and it completed between 1870 and 1871. A third architect, Frederick Wyatt, was employed to design the apse which was completed in 1875.
Built in Italianate style with overture characteristics of classical Italian country house designs, Christ Church is one of the few examples of what has been coined "Villa Rustica" architecture in Victoria.
Slipping through the front door at the bottom of the campanile, the rich smell of incense from mass envelops visitors. As soon as the double doors which lead into the church proper close behind you, the church provides a quiet refuge from the busy intersection of Glenlyon Road and Brunswick Street outside, and it is quite easy to forget that cars and trams pass by just a few metres away. Walking up the aisle of the nave of Christ Church, light pours over the original wooden pews with their hand embroidered cushions through sets of luminescent stained glass windows by Melbourne manufacturers, Ferguson and Urie, Mathieson and Gibson and Brooks Robinson and Company. A set of fourteen windows from the mid-to-late Nineteenth Century by Ferguson and Urie depicting different saints are especially beautiful, filled with painted glass panes which are as vivid now as when they were created more than one hundred years ago. The floors are still the original dark, richly polished boards that generations of worshipers have walked over since they were first laid. The east transept houses the Lady Chapel, whilst the west transept is consumed by the magnificent 1972 Roger H. Pogson organ built of cedar with tin piping. This replaced the original 1889 Alfred Fuller organ. Beautifully executed carved rood figures watch over the chancel from high, perhaps admiring the marble altar.
Albert Purchas, born in 1825 in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales, was a prominent Nineteenth Century architect who achieved great success for himself in Melbourne. Born to parents Robert Whittlesey Purchas and Marianne Guyon, he migrated to Australia in 1851 to establish himself in the then quickly expanding city of Melbourne, where he set up a small architect's firm in Little Collins Street. He also offered surveying services. His first major building was constructing the mansion "Berkeley Hall" in St Kilda on Princes Street in 1854. The house still exists today. Two years after migrating, Albert designed the layout of the Melbourne General Cemetery in Carlton. It was the first "garden cemetery" in Victoria, and his curvilinear design is still in existence, unaltered, today. In 1854, Albert married Eliza Anne Sawyer (1825 - 1869) in St Kilda. The couple had ten children over their marriage, including a son, Robert, who followed in his father's footsteps as an architect. Albert's brother-in-law, Charles Sawyer joined him in the partnership of Purchas and Sawyer, which existed from 1856 until 1862 in Queens Street. The firm produced more than 140 houses, churches, offices and cemetery buildings including: the nave and transepts of Christ Church St Kilda between 1854 and 1857, "Glenara Homestead"in Bulla in 1857, the Melbourne Savings Bank on the corner of Flinders Lane and Market Street (now demolished) between 1857 and 1858, the Geelong branch of the Bank of Australasia in Malop Street between 1859 and 1860, and Beck's Imperial Hotel in Castlemaine in 1861. When the firm broke up, Albert returned to Little Collins Street, and the best known building he designed during this period was St. George's Presbyterian Church in East St Kilda between 1877 and 1880. The church's tall polychomatic brick bell tower is still a local landmark, even in the times of high rise architecture and development, and St, George's itself is said to be one of his most striking church designs. Socially, Albert was vice president of the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects for many years, before becoming president in 1887. He was also an inventor and philanthropist. Albert died in 1909 at his home in Kew, a wealthy widower and much loved father.
The stained glass firm of Ferguson and Urie was established by Scots James Ferguson (1818 – 1894), James Urie (1828 – 1890) and John Lamb Lyon (1836 – 1916). They were the first known makers of stained glass in Australia. Until the early 1860s, window glass in Melbourne had been clear or plain coloured, and nearly all was imported, but new churches and elaborate buildings created a demand for pictorial windows. The three Scotsmen set up Ferguson and Urie in 1862 and the business thrived until 1899, when it ceased operation, with only John Lamb Lyon left alive. Ferguson and Urie was the most successful Nineteenth Century Australian stained glass window making company. Among their earliest works were a Shakespeare window for the Haymarket Theatre in Bourke Street, a memorial window to Prince Albert in Holy Trinity, Kew, and a set of Apostles for the West Melbourne Presbyterian Church. Their palatial Gothic Revival office building stood at 283 Collins Street from 1875. Ironically, their last major commission, a window depicting “labour”, was installed in the old Melbourne Stock Exchange in Collins Street in 1893 on the eve of the bank crash. Their windows can be found throughout the older suburbs of Melbourne and across provincial Victoria.
This version is repacked issue of 1988 Monogram kit for “Help Hospitalized Veterans” funding. I presume it was released circa 2005 but not so sure. I purchased it from a seller in the U.S. on eBay. The shipper box arrived in pristine condition and the item was really well packed but when I unpacked the layers of bubble sheets I found the plastic bag was badly torn. So strange so I contacted the seller but the guy said he sent a mint one and suggested that the photos I sent are not the item he sent. Ha….. I searched his feedback and in the past buyers said that they received items of the same sort but different quality. Well, I originally intended to keep the kit in the bag but now with torn packaging I will just build it. Some people are not honest and it is not avoidable…
So I just built it. Originally I just wanted to snap together to see the assembled piece and do the proper work (gap filling, painting and such) later but during the course of building which took only 1 hour – most time was used to trim parts flash being an old kit – I thought I’d give it a simple black wash only but then a bit of dry brushing was added. However the quick painting took only half an hour. Later I will still disassemble it for the right job but in the meantime it does not look that bad as is but of course if I can ignore those horrible unfilled gap lines… I know this quick job does not do justice for this good kit but someday! For now I even leave the “Limited Edition” sticker on : )
