81. BAPTISTRY WINDOW III

The tall central window was given by the women of the Diocese. This lovely window contains scenes from the life of Jesus.     INDEX

82. BAPTISTRY WINDOWS IV, V

Bypassing the central window, the fourth window shows children presenting their Lenten offering. It was given by the children of Holy Trinity Sunday School 1961 – 1964. The Western-most window shows a priest with Papuans. It was given in memory of Hubert Harding Wellington who died in 1959, and his wife Margaret who died in 1956.

83. STONES

Beneath each small window is a special stone – the one at left from St Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney. The plaque below refers to the Boy with Offering window. Nearby is a stone from Westminster Abbey in London. The plaque below refers to the Child Timothy window.

84. MORE STONES

Beneath the Children’s Lenten Offering window is this stone from St Paul’s Cathedral in London, taken from the bombed reredos. This stone comes from St Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne. It is below the Priest and Papuans window.

85. WEST WALL AND HISTORICAL PLAQUE

Leaving the Baptistry we turn to the South side of the West wall. We see a large mosaic plaque with another stone below, a painting and a pair of small windows. This interesting historical plaque gives an outline of the history of Holy Trinity Church and then Holy Trinity Cathedral.

86. EARLY BRICK

This old brick comes from the first Holy Trinity Church which stood on this site. This was opened in 1858.

87. CANTERBURY STONE

On the wall here we have another Consecration Cross, and a piece of stone from Canterbury Cathedral which was placed here in 1965 by the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Arthur Michael Ramsay.

88. WEST WINDOWS SOUTH

This pair of windows forms part of the set with those on the North side: showing coats of arms symbolizing the history of the Wangaratta Diocese.

89. WINDOW ABOVE WEST DOORS

This window contains a further three coats of arms. Perhaps these are also part of the series describing the history of the Wangaratta Diocese?

90. WEST WINDOW

This window in the shape of a growing plant gives an historical coverage of early settlement to the present day in the north-east of Victoria. At the top we read: ‘Here we offer and present unto Thee O Lord our souls and bodies.’ This completes our visit to Holy Trinity cathedral.

91. CATHEDRAL OPENING

This is an old photograph of the opening of the Holy Trinity Cathedral in 1906. This photo is from the Wangaratta Historical Society’s Photo Collection.

92. EARLY POSTCARD

This undated photograph is from Picture Victoria. The old organ is shown at left, and the East wall appears to be of timber planking.

93. CATHEDRAL POSTCARD

This photograph from Picture Victoria was taken after 1922, which was the date the Lady Chapel was built.

94. EARLY SKETCH PLAN

This is an early sketch by architect Walter Butler. It is easily recognizable as the Cathedral of today, apart from the two Western towers.
