Design for the shortened tower, St John's, Bethnal Green, London,17 July 1827 [2]

The tower design was one of the most contentious issues of the entire design. Soane had started out with a truncated tower in mind (SM 59/10/5), then chose a taller tower with a shorter alternative attached (SM 47/5/57, SM 47/5/63), and finally settled on the short version for the final design (SM 47/5/5) which then emerges in all the designs thereafter (eg. SM 47/5/6, SM 47/5/9). The second drawing in this scheme emphasises the longitudinal arrangement of the supporting pillars of the first tier.
