Artwork and Furnishings

The pew armrest animals and pew-end caps (plants) were carved by Melbourne's leading wood carver, Robert Prenzel, to designs by the Chapel architect, Alexander North, at the time the chapel was built in 1917. Prenzel trained in Prussia and came to Melbourne with the influx of people around the 1888 International Exhibition. His workshop continued until around 1930, and he was involved with many commisisons from the leading architects of the day. Three of the animals were stolen in the 1980s, and replaced by three sympathetic carvings by Eva Schubert.

The carved wooden lectern was designed by North in 1918 and is a memorial to Franc Carse. The bookrest is an eagle carved after a model sculpted by J J R Tranthim-Fryer and executed by a Mr C Rouch of Heidelberg. The eagle surmounts a  tower of finialled buttresses joined by Gothic tracery pierced-work carvings. The whole sits on a platform set on casters so that it can be repositioned with ease. The lecturn was unveiled in 1922.

There is also a carved wooden hymn-board, donated by Mrs Todd-Ransom in 1918.

The fourteen bronze Stations of the Cross in the ante-chapel are by Andor Meszaros. They commemorate the priesthood of three former vicars of St Peter's Eastern Hill, Melbourne: Canon H H P Hadford, first Chaplain of Trinity College; Canon E S Hughes, former Senior Student; and Canon F E Maynard, mentor to the Trinity College Theological School.

The paschal candle stand was donated in 2005 by Professor Robin Sharwood, Fourth Warden of Trinity College (1965-1973).
