Hand

Probably Bailey, George (1792--1860), draughtsman
The Soane Office Day Books for 10 November record Bailey as working on designs for the pulpit for St Peter's, and some of the letter forms

Notes

This does not appear to be part of the pulpit, but rather the base of a pilaster on the wall with the masonry indicated in pink. Nonetheless, the inscription is not exactly clear where this pilaster would be placed. Looking at the floor plans (SM 54/6/5), it may correspond to the pillar arrangement behind the pulpit and reading desk, and attached to the main pews. Nonetheless, this remains conjectural.
