MonoMonday # 5

You know how some days you go out there, and blips just hit you between the eyes, no matter what you look at, and where you go?

Well, fellow Blipsters, I have to tell you that today was not one of them.

Hence we have a totally boring image of St. Michaels Anglican Church at Mitcham.

Here's a brief history of it:

The foundation stone of Saint Michael’s Church, which stands on an acre of land given by Robert Thornber, was laid on the 30th of September 1848, with the first service being held on the 17th of October 1852. Consecration of the church was deferred, as it was still unfinished - “neither ceiled nor plastered, with temporary doors and calico windows” stated a report of the time. The architect who designed the church was a Mr. Weir. At this service prayers were read by the first incumbent minister, The Rev E. H. Burnett, and a sermon was preached by the Lord Bishop of Adelaide, Dr. Short.

In 1863 the southern nave was built to accommodate the increased congregation, the architect being Edmund Wright, whose name is commemorated in Edmund Wright House. The original shingle roof was also covered with iron at that time. The priest’s vestry was added in 1871, and the choir vestry in 1899.

And I almost forgot,. I read the most wonderful journal yesterday from Kelso, called the Rainbow Bridge. If you have ever loved and lost an adored pet you will understand.

It's MonoMonday, so pleased don't forget to tag your images MonoMonday, and/or let me know in a comment. We had over 80 participants last week.
