Reference number
SM 54/6/20
Purpose
[34] Design for the floor timbers for the gallery, St Peter's, Walworth, London, 18 October 1823
Aspect
Plan showing the arrangement of the floor timbers for the galleries of the church. The exterior is five-by-nine bays. On the principal front the central three bays are recessed behind four free-standing columns, flanked by side towers. The arrangement of the upper gallery on the northern side shows the timber joists are laid vertically from end to end, with timber girders placed horizontally. The southern side of the upper gallery, although not shown, can be assumed to replicate this arrangement. The nave timbers reverse this arrangement, as do those located at the western entrance. Note the five blue pegs (indicating metal) on the southern side of the nave keeping the timbers in place, which may be assumed to be replicated elsewhere. To the right of the sheet there is a small faint pencil sketch
