All Souls is home to some of the most beautiful and significant stained glass windows in South Australia, designed by Morris & Co. Morris & Co stained glass windows are world famous and reflect the Gothic revival in architecture. Of the 14 identified Morris & Co windows in Adelaide, 5 are to be found in All Souls Church. The church also has a number of other beautiful stained glass windows, some re-located from other churches, others dedicated war memorials.

The church has suffered significant cracking over the years, despite taking preventative measures. A lot of further work is required to minimise movement and stabilise the building. Stabilisation will protect the stained glass windows, some of which are in danger of collapse.

The National Trust All Souls Church Appeal aims to raise funds to continue with the program of repair for the church building and the stained glass windows, in order to preserve this historic site for the future.

The National Trust of SA manages 24 nature reserves across South Australia representing a variety of ecosystems and encompassing a total area of over 2,500ha.

Over 200 years of extensive clearing of native vegetation has removed, changed or fragmented most habitats and contributed to the extinction of hundreds of native species. Weeds and pest animals have become widespread. Invasive weeds displace native vegetation and often contribute to increased fire-fuel loads. Pest herbivores adversely impact native vegetation and contribute to soil erosion, while pest carnivores such as cats and foxes have an enormously detrimental impact upon native fauna. Thousands of species are at risk of disappearing forever.

Any contribution no matter how big or small, once off or regular will make a huge difference!

The Pilgrim Uniting Church building, dedicated in 1867 as Stow Memorial Congregational Church, is a beautiful example of ‘Revival Gothic’ architecture. The magnificent organ, originally installed in the Pirie Street Methodist Church in 1855, was the largest in the colony and has been continually upgraded since then. It was rebuilt into the south gallery of Pilgrim Uniting Church in 1973 when the Pirie Street Methodist Church closed. The Church building is in use at least six days a week because the Congregation believes it is important to share this wonderful heritage facility with others. Pilgrim Uniting Church is in partnership with the Chinese (SA) Christian Church and enables other groups to use the church on a regular or irregular basis. Keeping the building useable for multiple purposes involves continual conservation, restoration and upgrading work

St Augustine’s role in the community, as a place of worship and a venue for civic and musical events has been enriched by the J C Bishop and Sons organ.

At a meeting on 2 July 1930, it was unanimously decided to purchase the J C Bishop and Sons organ, which was, at the time, in St Peters Cathedral. J C Bishop and Sons founded in 1795,were known as master organ builders. Their attention to detail and expert knowledge, combined with ingenuity and craftsmanship, produced  some of the finest English organs of the nineteenth century.

Age is catching up with the organ and a comprehensive restoration, focusing on preserving the original tonal scheme and enhancing the mechanical aspects of the organ with modern aids, will ensure improved action response, ongoing reliability and tuning stability. Your donation will support these imperative restorations.
