Purpose
[45] Design for the staircase and vestry room windows, St Peter's, Walworth, London, August 1823
Aspect
Section of the staircase and vestry room windows for the church. A small strip on the left-hand side is possibly the remains of the staircase. The vestry window element shows brick work, and the window sill both connected to the fascia on the right-hand side, with the mouldings shown in profile. Above the fascia and part of the window sill there is brickwork arranged vertically. There is a faint pencil design on the top left-hand corner, perhaps a balustrade(?)
