Purpose
Design for an interior perspective, St John's, Bethnal Green, London, June 1825 [1]
Notes
The interior features a flat, compartmentalised ceiling, an arcade of arches on the gallery level, three windows in the rear wall, with the altarpiece at the end is a familiar design from the other Soane churches. Gerald Carr actually commented on this drawing that by this time, 'Soane could have designed the interior, at least, in his sleep'. Nonetheless, this time Soane starts out, and keeps to, a flat roof so the ceiling of the nave is the same level as those for the aisles. The windows along the side are smaller, a feature which would change in 1826.
