Aspect
Elevation and perspective view showing the west, north and south fronts of a church. Below is an elevation of the south front of a nine-bay church. The first and ninth bays contain rectangular latticed windows with console hood mouldings and are articulated by a screen of two Doric columns. The second and eighth bays have arched latticed windows within relieving arches and the third to seventh bays replicate this on a larger scale. The building has a Doric frieze and a shallow pitched roof, surmounted by an attic roof with five bays of latticed square windows. This is connected by a stone balustrade to towers at each end with a single latticed window. Above is a perspective showing the west and north fronts of a five-by-nine-bay church. The north front is identical to the elevation above, and the west front shows steps leading to a recessed series of four fluted Doric Columns. The entrance is flanked by single bays containing rectangular latticed windows with console hood mouldings
