Aspect
Perspective of a five-by-nine bay church within a landscape. Similar in many regards to SM 54/3/4, with the exceptions of: the walls are all plain; and doors are visible behind the front columns, the windows have console hood mouldings and balusters. There are relief tablets above the end bay windows and the first and last bays on the side. All the columns are unfluted. At roof level, the tower base is shallower at the front, and without volute pediments, the drum of the tower is not strigilated, and the pinnacle of the tower has figures standing back-to-back on a strigilated plinth. Behind the tower is a shallow pitched roof
Verso: Elevation in pencil of the principal front for a church showing steps leading to a portico of four Doric columns. The bottom half of the walls are dressed in banded masonry, the upper half plain. Recessed between the centre intercolumniation is a door. The end bays have windows with console hood mouldings and with relief tablets above. At the sides Doric columns support part of a projecting architrave. All the columns support a Doric frieze. Above is a wide base which is divided by four recessed pilasters. Between the pilasters there is a clock face in the centre and two relief tablets. Above each pilaster is a standing statue of a human figure. Recessed between the central figures is a tower with a pendentive dome with a louvre window within, and it is supported by Ionic columns. Above is a square base surmounted by standing figures
