Bracknell, Tasmania
Bracknell is a small rural town in northern Tasmania, Australia that was established to serve the needs of the forestry industry but is now a centre for the local farming community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Meander Valley Council )〕
==History==
The township of Bracknell was surveyed prior to 1859, at which time an auction of town blocks was held, but only became established in the early 1870s. By 1874 there was a church, two school buildings, a hotel and several other buildings. The town's land had formerly been owned by the Church of England.〔 All the streets in Bracknell have been given female names, a curiosity that dates from when the town was laid out. The current hotel has been in operation since 1880, originally as the Enfield Hotel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bracknell Hotel History )〕 The post office opened on 1 August 1872.
The first Methodist services in the town were held in a barn around November to December 1863. As the congregation grew a church was needed and so the foundation stone for a Primitive Methodist chapel was laid on 14 October 1864. This first church was later removed so the current building could be constructed on its site. A parsonage was added in 1902, the year of the Methodist union that formed the Methodist Church of Australasia. The present church's foundation stone was laid 4 April 1922 and it was opened the same year at a cost of 1250 pounds.〔Bracknell Methodist Church〕 The church became part of the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977 and remains in use.〔 The foundation stone of an Anglican church, St James, was laid December 1931 and the church consecrated April 1932. When opened the church was part of the Church of England parish of Cressy.〔Henslowe, p.15〕 St James' was later closed and the Diocese of Tasmania sold it in 2011.
