Purpose

Finished drawing for Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone, London, November 1820 (1)

Notes

In terms of overall design, this group belongs with those from November 1822. Nonetheless, a major difference is the addition of skylights which are placed on the roofline in front and to the rear of the high attic roof, which in itself acts as a clerestory level to light the nave and gallery. The skylights channel light down to illuminate the nave and chancel. This feature does not appear on any plan or elevation after this date and was abandoned, hence its separate grouping.

Sir John Soane's collection includes some 30,000 architectural, design and topographical drawings which is a very important resource for scholars worldwide. His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger. These drawings sit side by side with 9,000 drawings in Soane’s own hand or those of the pupils in his office, covering his early work as a student, his time in Italy and the drawings produced in the course of his architectural practice from 1780 until the 1830s.
