Purpose
[37] Finished drawing for the principal front of Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone, London, 1822
Aspect
Elevation of a five-bay church with a Doric portico and a double-door between the central intercolumniation. The end bay windows are arch-topped, latticed, and within relieving arches. The tower is similar to that for the left side of SM 54/1/34 but the lancet windows on the third tier are larger and latticed. The dome is toped with a pinecone finial. Behind the tower is a raised central roof
Flyer: the tower conforms to all the details above, but the base has no roundel, the multi-faceted portion has thinner lancet windows and the Corinthian columns are blank. To the right of the tower is an alternative version of the multi-faceted portion with decorated segmental pediments, above is a circular balustrade and a short column surmounted by a pinecone finial, with a centring line added
