Details: MESSENGERS. The carrying of messages from one tribe to another in the early days was an important matter for the aboriginals. This was done particularly when the tribes were being summoned to a bumbat, and in different districts different methods wore observed. The practice of the Kamilaroi tribes may be taken as that of the tribes that lived nearest to Maitland some seventy or eighty years ago. In each clan there was one man who, was a herald and had an official designation. He was well known in all the adjoining tribes and could go with safety between them, even when they were at war. When sent as an envoy to the enemies camp he might have to wait for a night to bring back a message from them. While there he made a camp by him self a little distance from their encampment. These heralds, being well known, did not need to carry any badge or emblem of office, but if a black were employed as a white man s messenger, the message was written on a piece of paper which was fastened in the end of a split stick. Carrying this before him he might pass safely through the enemy s country because he was seen to be the white man s messenger, and if any harm were done him the tribe of the white man would be angry. With the Gringal, wrote Mr Boydell, a messenger could pass in safety from one tribe to another. A red coloured net was worn round the forehead if the messenger were on an errand to summon the tribes, together for a bumbat, or for any other great occasion such as a council of war. It was customary for a messenger, when within sound of the camp that was his destination to give a particular coo-ee. Immediately this is heard the whole tribe gathered together to hear what he had to say, but not a word was spoken to him until he thought it proper to deliver his message. Sometimes, for the sake of effect probably, the herald would sit silent for hours. When, however, he unburdened his mind his eloquence was wonderful and he was listened to with the greatest attention. No message Sticks were used in this tribe.

Bennett & Yeomans were the architects and J. Myers the builder. The church was built in the Gothic style of architecture, 65 feet long, 35 feet wide and 20 feet from floor to ceiling, with a sloping floor.

Place: Corner King and Mitchell Streets, Stockton
Source: The Methodist 14 September 1946
Details: The first Church dates back to 1886, but there was almost two years of effort before that. Mr. R. J. Errington who had moved from Wallsend to Stockton, persuaded Mr. John Dixon, F.R.G.S., Inspector of Mines, to commence Primitive Methodist services. The first service was held in December, 1884, in the old school room, in Church Street. Revs. J. A. Foggon and E. C. Pritchard conducted services in this building, and in it Thomas - Errington and Peter Roddom were baptised. Later, services were held in the Temperance Hall. The need for a Church was evident, and on March 27, 1886, the foundation stones for the first Methodist Church in Stockton were laid by Mrs. Foggon and Mr. John Evans (Manager of Stockton Colliery). The Church was opened for worship in July, and was attached to the Newcastle Primitive Methodist Circuit. Afterwards a circuit, Stockton, Stockton Newtownship, Carrington, was formed, with Rev. James Green as minister in charge. He was the first married minister to be stationed at Stockton. The original Church, in Mitchell Street, was destroyed by fire on January 28, 1902. The present Church was opened on Sunday, December 14, 1902. With Methodist Union, Stockton was attached to Newcastle

Details: In order to meet the requirements of the increasing population of Mayfield East, in the Newcastle district; a large and commodious school church has just been completed in Margaret Street by the enterprising members of the Mayfield Methodist Church. This extension of church work will meet the spiritual wants of the district for many years to come, and it is hoped that a strong and increasing fellowship will be built in the locality.. Special attention has been given to the accommodation for the children, and the building has been specially designed for Sunday school work, and at the same time may be used for church services and the social functions appertaining to work of this kind. The structure is somewhat of a departure from the usual style of church architecture. The building comprises a hall,. 62ft x 30ft, and four class-rooms with a porch 14ft x 8ft. The main hall, which is capable of seating from 350 to 400 people, is divided into two for school purposes by a movable partition, the smaller portion, 22ft x 30ft, to be used for the kindergarten, and the larger 40ft x 30ft for the general school. The four class-rooms being reserved for the senior boys and girls. The partition is a double panelled partition, so as to render it as sound-proof as possible. The building is a timber-framed structure on concrete piers, with the outside walls of mahogany rusticated weather- ;boards up to sill lever and Sprigg s asbestos from sill to the eaves. The inside has a 5ft dado, the remainder of the walls and ceilings being lined with asbestos panelled out and painted. The front elevation is of imposing and pleasing appearance, with stained shingle gables and walls of asbestolite and weatherboards, the class-rooms giving width, while the porch in the centre breaks up the continuity. The work has been faithfully performed by Messrs. Carpenter and Darkenne, contractors of Islington, at a cost of £900, to the designs and under the supervision of Mr. T. J. Pepper architect, of Watt Street, Newcastle
