  • Two Churches by Frank Wills: St. Peter's, Barton, and St
    ANALYSIS I ANALYSE TWO CHURCHES BY FRANK WILLS: ST. PETER'S, BARTON, AND ST. PAUL:S, GLANFORD, AND THE ECCLESIOLOGICAL GOTHIC REVIVAL IN ONTARI01 Professor MALCOLM THURLBY, Ph 0., F.S A., >MALCOLM THURLBY enjoys cooking, watching soccer, and driving his wife's BMW Z3 whilst listening to the music of Roy Wood. His latest book, Romanesque Architecture and Sculpture in Wales, was published by Logaston Press, Almeley (Hel'efordshirel. in June 2006. n his entry on Frank Wills (1822-1857) Iin the Dictionary of Canadian Biogra­ phy, Douglas Richardson wrote: "It could be argued that Frank Wills was the most important Gothic Revival architect of his generation in North America, even though he is one of the least known figures today. His obscurity must be due partly to the widespread range of his work-from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf of Mexico to the St. Law­ rence River-and partly to his early death." 2 Richardson's assessment is quite accurate, for although Wills's Anglican cathedrals in Fredericton and Montreal are generally given an important place in the history of Canadian architecture, 3 and Fredericton has often received interna­ tional recognition,4 his role in the Gothic Revival elsewhere in North America is little studied.' Nowhere is this more evident than in Ontario where his work has been almost completely ignored.' To some extent, this is understandable in that there are just three Wills churches documented in Ontario, of which only one survives. That legacy is eclipsed by that of William Hay (1818-1888), who arrived in Toronto in 1853.

  • "A Strange Aesthetic Ferment
    "A STRANGE AESTHETIC FERMENT Malcolm Ross w. ONE LOOKS DOWN over Fredericton from the hills where Charles Roberts and Bliss Carman once took their long hikes with George Parkin, one still sees the spire of Bishop Medley's Cathedral rising above a city hidden in elms. Old Frederictonians, whether they be Anglican or Roman, Baptist or Marxist, think first of their Cathedral whenever they think of home. George Goodridge Roberts, the father of Charles and Theodore (and Bliss Carman's uncle) was Canon of the Cathedral and Rector of the parish church of St. Anne's. George Parkin, headmaster of the Collegiate School in Fredericton, was an active Cathedral layman. Something should be said about the coincidence at just the right time of the Tractarian Bishop, his Gothic Cathedral, the great teacher whose classroom had no walls, "the new music, the new colours, the new raptures of Pre-Raphaelite poetry",1 and the young and eager spirits ready to respond to the peculiar genius of this place and this time. "The Fredericton of those days", Charles G. D. Roberts recalls, "was a good place for a poet to be." It was "stirring with a strange aesthetic ferment." Tiny as it was, with no more than six thousand inhabitants, Fredericton was nonetheless a capital city, a university city, a cathedral city : She had little of the commercial spirit, and I fear was hardly as democratic as is nowaday considered the proper thing to be. But she was not stagnant, and she was not smug. Instead of expecting all the people to be cut of one pattern, she seemed to prefer them to be just a little queer...

    Copy of engraving in Cathedral of bishop Medley in the year of his Consecration, from Oil Tainting in Wadham College Hall , Oxford. History It was Major General Sir Howard Douglas, Lieutenant- Governor of New Brunswick from 1824 to 1831, who first urged upon His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies the establishment of a separate diocese for this Province. This however, did not come about until 1845, when the Reverend John Medley, of the Diocese of Exeter, was consecrated the first Bishop of Fredericton. The Letters Patent appointing him are in the Cathedral vaults. The first impulse was given to the erection of the Cath- edral by friends of the Bishop in Exeter who presented him, when he left for New Brunswick, with a cheque for £1400 "towards a cathedral church, or any other church purpose." Stimulated by this generous offering the Bishop employed Mr. Frank Wills to draw plans for a cathedral for his new diocese. He sent him to Snettisham in Norfolk to take measurements of the fine parish church there, which appeared to the Bishop to be a suitable model. The noble proportions of the nave are a faithful copy from this church. In general style we may trace Bishop Medley's love of Exeter Cathedral, and the "Decorated" period of Gothic architecture. The first sod for the foundation was turned on August 28, 1845, and the work so far progressed as to be ready for the laying of the foundation stone on October 15 of the same year. The ceremony was performed by Sir William Colebrooke, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, in the presence of nearly three thousand people.
