Overview

Excerpt from The History and Survey of London and Its Environs From the Earliest Period to the Present Time, 1806, Vol. 3 of 4 This ancient edifice may very properly be num bered amongst the best of our Gothic buildings. It is one hundred and 'fo'urteen feet in length, sixty three feet in breadth, thirty-two feet high, to the ioof, and one hundred and twenty-two feet to the top of the turret. The body of the church 13 well enlightened by two rows of windows, which are truly of the Gothic order, and the spaces between have buttresses for the support of the wall. The tower is well-proportioned, the corners of it are sup ported by a kind of buttress work, and at each cor ner 1s a small turret. The principal turret, in the centre, is light and open; it is strengthened by. But tresses, and crowned with a dome, from whence rises the vane. Over the south east door of the church is a beautiful figure of Time, with a scythe in one hand, and an hour-glass 1n the other.
