[9] Design for the exterior of Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone, London, datable to September 1820
Browse
Reference number
SM 54/3/7
Purpose
[9] Design for the exterior of Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone, London, datable to September 1820
Aspect
Perspective of a five-by-seven bay church within a landscape. Similar in many regards to SM 54/3/5, with the exceptions being: the windows are now round-arched and set within relieving arches, with a panelled bottom, and the articulated screen of Doric columns on the first and seventh bays are flanked by Doric pilasters. The base of the tower is now squared with the front split into three vertical panels. A clock face is in the centre, and is flanked by relief panels, and above these are volute pediments. The pitched attic roof is more visible

Inscribed
Sketch of a design for a New Church in the Parish of St Marylebone
Signed and dated
- September 1820
This seems to form part of a series with SM 54/3/1-6, and is likely to have been produced in September 1820
Medium and dimensions
Pen, wash, coloured washes of light blue, brown, green, olive green, Payne’s grey, sepia, stone, and yellow on wove paper (509 x 343)
Hand
Soane Office, draughtsman
Verso
Part of a circle which has a smaller circle within its left-hand side, with measurements in pencil. Perhaps a rough try at a plan for a circular portion of the tower with the arrangement of columns
Notes
As with SM 54/3/6 the attic roof is retained, but if anything, is slightly enlarged, and the tower is possibly the same height, but seems wider.
