PROSPECT.

St. Bartholomew's Church.

(BY REV. W.S. MCLEOD.)

Prospect is one of the most historical districts in New South Wales. It was from the top of Prospect Hill that Captain Tench in 1789 first saw the Blue Mountains, in circumstances that led to that locality being called Tench's Prospect Hill, and gradually the name was shortened to Prospect Hill, and gradually to Prospect. In August, 1791, Governor Phillip settled 12 families on small farms, that stretched from the base of Prospect Hill to the site of Toongabbie railway station. In 1802 Prospect was Included in the parish of St. John's, Parramatta. Prospect is not only interesting because of its age, as age is considered in Australia, but more so because of the many old associations that still linger around the district. The chief amongst those is the church on the hill, the mother church of the extensive and beautiful parish of Prospect and Seven Hills, known as St. Bartholomew's Church of England.

Many of the old pioneers first attended St. John's, Parramatta, where some of them were married, saw their children christened, and were themselves buried. But during the thirties a start to secure a church was made. The proposal had the cordial support of the Rev. Samuel Marsden, and a subscription list was opened in the "Sydney Morning Herald" February 23, 1837. Amongst the subscribers were Lieut. Wm. Lawson £ 100, Nelson Lawson £50, Robert Crawford, of Hill End, on the Western-road, £25, Bishop Broughton £25, William Lawson, jun., £25. Charles Smith, the sporting butcher, whose big shop was in the north-west corner of George and Market streets, Sydney, and who owned Bungarrabee, adjoining Prospect, where he bred blood stock, gave £50. James Whalan, who in the same year, 1837, discovered the Jenolan Caves, and many others, contributed to the building funds. The church was not convict- built, but was superintended by Lieutenant Lawson, who, doubtless, drew the plans and called for tenders. He is referred to as "Old Ironbarks," because he was so tough.

BEGINNINGS.

Bishop Broughton opened and consecrated the church in May, 1841. The building was remodelled during the Rev. Spooner's incumbency; a new ceiling was put in. The first clergyman In charge was the Rev. H. H. Bobart, B.A. The first baptism was Margaret Goodin, born June 17, 1832, baptised May 2, 1841, by Mr. Bobart. The first marriage was Thomas Moreing to Sarah McDonald, on November 23, 1841, and the first burial Ann Goodwin, aged 15 years, buried July 16, 1841. In the churchyard around the church are buried many of the pioneers of the district. William Lawson, of Veteran Hall, Major Weston, of Horsley, who died In 1856, and Blanche, his wife, who died in 1904, at the great age of 98 years; and many others of lesser note. The first confirmation service was held by Bishop Broughton on January 13, 1844. The first parsonage was erected in 1860, during the Rev. Donkin's incumbency, and still stands between Seven Hills and Prospect. St. Bartholomew's celebrates its 97th anniversary on Sunday next, June 10. It is a church to which it is worth while making a pilgrimage. Its old box pews with their doors on, its old square brick ? and its memorials to many of the pioneers, are worth observing. Everything in the exterior and interior of the building is square and formal, as though ornamentation seemed to be avoided. The parish at present contains 10 centres, but it is likely to be shortly divided. The Rev. W. S. McLeod, L.Th., is at present acting rector. The Rev. George Napoleon Wood, B.A., was the first clergyman to reside in Prospect. The first incumbent of St. Bartholomew's was the Rev. John Troughton. The first vestry meeting of the church was held on March 29, 1842, the Rev. W. West Simpson, M.A., presiding. The records of the church were kept by a parish clerk, Joseph Haddock, and there is an account of the salary that was paid to him, at the rate of £10/12/ per annum. His writing was that of a very clear penman, his t's being crossed, and his i's meticulously dotted. And so old St. Bartholomew's has withstood the elements of the weather and the ravages of time for nearly a century.

Burial

Joseph is Buried at St Batholomew's Prospect on the 26th July 1844. The officating Minister was John Troughton. His recorded age is 39 years
