Purpose
[31] Design for the interior, St Peter's, Walworth, London, January-June 1823
Aspect
Half longitudinal section of the east end of the church. The section shows the church from the foundation levels to the roof. The section is divided into grids by the use of red pen, centred through the four and a half internal bays, as well as the one-and-a-half bays of the rear projection. In the vault there are segmental openings to the windows. At ground floor the gallery is supported by Doric columns, with arched, transomed windows running through the ground and gallery floors. Four iron posts run from the top of the Doric columns through the gallery level to support the wooden cross beams at the roof level. At roof level are the joists and cross beams, but not the finished roof covering, and the roof is further supported by diagonal wooden braces connected to the iron posts. The rear projection is shown with a door surmounted by a fan light, an arched window in the upper register, and with two arched lancet windows to the right-hand side
