Church of the Good Shepherd, Hadspen

Posted on February 19, 2015 by Monissa Whiteley

Thomas Reibey of nearby Entally at various times archdeacon of Launceston, state politician & premier, started building this church in 1868 but stopped after a couple of years. And it sat like this for most of the next century — just walls. It was finally completed and opened in 1961.

The lighter rows of stone in the top of the wall are the newer part.

About

Church Photos
The aim of this project is to get a photo of every church in Tasmania, with a very broad definition of "church". Some of these photos
have been taken from the window of a car in passing. Some of these have been taken when was I able to walk through the building and take my time over composing photos. Most of them are somewhere in between :)

I am working through an eleven year backlog of photos (currently up to 2009), trying to add some every night.

Cemetery Photos
I also take photos of headstones around churches and cemeteries, because they're interesting. There is no attempt to provide photos of all headstones in any cemetery I visit because there are other sites that do that better page. If there only a small number of headstones, I'll try to take photos of all of them but otherwise it's just whatever catches my attention. I was including transcriptions in the posts, but I found it was taking too much time (hours for each post) and I'd rather put that time into putting up church photos.

(Although I'm happy to include transcription that might be useful or of interest to someone else. I just don't want to spend hours doing it for no purpose. So if you're interested in what a particular stone or two says, ask and I'll see if I can read it on the larger original. Although note the comment about comments above. The spam filters have sharp teeth.)
