Sir John Soane office drawings: the drawings of Sir John Soane and the office of Sir John Soane
- Churches and chapels
  - London: Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone, designs for construction and interiors, 1820-34 (120)

Designs and finished drawings for Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone, London, 1820 (4)

Following on from the interior perspective in May (SM 54/2/8), Soane's office produced four designs later on in the year focusing on the interior once again and also the entrance, and loggia. A flatter roof was being anticipated in these drawings, and differing conceptions of the interior space, one with windows in the rear wall, the other with paintings in the same location. As the front columns were conceived of as in-antis, this predicated the need for a loggia to separate the columns from the main entrance door. Here, two differing designs were produced.

[3] Design for the loggia at Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone, London, 17 September 1820

17^th. Sep^r. 1820

Possibly Bailey, George (1792--1860), draughtsman
Carr noted that as 17 September 1820 was a Sunday, Soane's students would not have been in the office. Indeed, this date is not in the Soane Office Day Books, as Sunday is not counted. This led Carr to speculate that as Soane regularly worked on a Sunday, this drawing may be his. An argument against this would be the inscription is not in Soane's hand, although admittedly, it could have been added later by Bailey. Additionally, according to the Soane Office Day Books, Bailey was working on drawings for the churches the following day

1820. / 1820. Faint writing in pencil showing either the 25th or 28th October 1820, in the right-hand corner

Possibly Mee, Arthur Patrick (1802--1868), draughtsman
Arthur Mee is recorded in the office day books as working on designs for the church on 25-28 October inclusive, and the letter forms coincide with Mee, especially on the word Church.
