Purpose
[96] Designs for the children’s and organ gallery at Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone, London, 10 January 1826
Aspect
Three part-elevations and part-sections for a church. The first on the left shows the arrangement of box pews with the interior seating in profile, flat at nave level, and descending at gallery level, where a metal column holds up the seating for the children's gallery. The windows are square at the nave level and arch-topped at gallery level, and both are latticed
The central elevation is similar to the one on the left, but the box pews are close with only one profile of a seat shown at nave and at gallery level. The metal column supports the organ gallery. Only the window at nave level is shown
The right is an axial view of one half of the western end of a church. The nave has pews across the front with Doric columns behind supporting the gallery. A panelled door is next to these. The gallery has an arch with an oculus across the top and a panelled balustrade across the bottom. Behind are a pair of metal columns supporting the childrens' gallery, which has a strigilated guard rail. Behind the posts are the pews for the organ gallery. Above is an outline of a pitched roof and the base of the tower
