		Louis Williams, Australian (1890-1980) West end, Holy Trinity Cathedral, Wangaratta, Victoria. 1962-65 Earlier sections had been executed 1908-9 and 1922-4 to designs by Walter Butler. Aided by the mellow glow of the local granite, its completion represented one of Williams’ more successful late efforts to capture ‘the spirit of Gothic’ while avoiding the decorative approach of most 19th century academic revival practicioners. Williams opened its west door to the Most Reverend Michael Ramsey, archbishop of Canterbury, for the dedication. Photographer: Robin Page

		Mockridge, Stahle and Mitchell St Faiths Burwood, Melbourne. 1958 The design reflected specific requirements indicated by the incumbent, but initially met with negative responses from some churchwardens and vestry members. Diocesan authorities finally approved its construction, because it was located in a side-street. Photographer: Colin Holden
