  • The Model of the Kentish Town Chapel of Ease’, the Georgian Group Jounal, Vol
    Tim Knox, ‘The Model of the Kentish Town Chapel of Ease’, The Georgian Group Jounal, Vol. V, 1995, pp. 97–102 + 136–138 TEXT © THE AUTHORS 1995 The Model of the Kentish Town Chapel of Ease Tim Knox Saint John’s, Kentish Town is a frowning neo-Romanesque church with twin towers stranded amidst warehouses on the Highgate Road.1 It is of yellow brick, economically embellished with stone dressings, and was built to the designs of James Hakewill between 1844-45.2 Although entirely nineteenth century in appearance it is in fact an extensive and audacious remodelling of an eighteenth-century chapel of ease. Embedded within Hakewill’s starved neo-Norman dress is a substantial fragment of the Kentish Town Chapel, the precursor of the present church, built to the designs of James Wyatt in 1782-84? Although the exterior of Hakewill’s church betrays little of its Georgian origins, a large and finely detailed model of the old chapel was for many years preserved inside the church. It bore the painted inscription ‘Model of the Kentish Town Parochial Chapel previous to its enlargement in 1845, erected in AD 1784’. When, in 1993, St John’s Church was made redun­ dant and closed, the model was removed for safekeeping. It is now on long term loan to the Royal Institute of British Architects Drawings Collection in London.4 The model had been in the church since at least the late nineteenth century - being men­ tioned in all accounts of the interior as a great curiosity.5 By 1910 it was described as ‘much neglected and shifted about from place to place’ but was restored in that year and provided with a handsome glass case mounted on a stand - to which it doubtless owes its preservation.6 It is an impressive object and is principally constructed of wood, painted and varnished, with the details rendered in a variety of materials including card, paper, wire and cloth.

  • St Pancras New Church
    Urban Geology in St Pancras Church Ruth Siddall UCL Department of Earth Sciences [email protected] Ruth Siddall 2012 1 Urban Geology in St Pancras Church St Pancras Church sits on the busy corner of Euston Road and Upper Woburn Place. It is hard to imagine today that when it was built two hundred years ago, it sat on the edge of town in what was becoming the fashionable suburb of Bloomsbury. The Church was designed by architect and surveyor William Inwood (1771‐1843) and his son Henry William Inwood (1794‐1843). They were awarded the contract in 1819 after submitting a Greek‐ revival design for the building. Henry soon left for Athens to further his research on the classical style and specifically ‘for the express purpose of making drawings from the Erectheum and the Temple of the Winds to complete the design of St Pancras Church’.1 The fruits of this trip to Athens can be seen in the octagonal tower reminiscent of the Tower of the Winds and in other architectural details observed in the interior of the church. Most famously of course, St Pancras Church has not one, but two Caryatid Porticos, direct copies of the original on the Erectheion on the Acropolis. No expense was spared in decoration of the church (although it seems subsequently that corners were cut in its basic construction) and the total cost of the building was close to £90,000. The church was consecrated on 7th May 1822 by the Bishop of London William Howley. Although running repairs were carried out throughout the 19th Century, the fabric of the church deteriorated badly over the late 19th Century and the early 20th Century.

  • Holy Trinity, Cloudesley Square, Islington: Chronology of Site Acquisition, Works and Repairs, C.1811–1980
    Holy Trinity, Cloudesley Square, Islington: Chronology of site acquisition, works and repairs, c.1811–1980 NLHF Tales from the Crypt project Holy Trinity, c.1830, courtesy of Islington Heritage Rebecca Preston, September 2019 Holy Trinity: Site acquisition, works and repairs, c.1811–1980 Introduction and acknowledgements: Holy Trinity, Cloudesley Square, was built in 1826-29 to a Tudor Gothic design by Sir Charles Barry, the architect of the Houses of Parliament, and forms the focal point of one of the best- preserved squares in the Barnsbury Conservation Area. When the congregation dwindled in the 1970s the Diocese of London closed the church for Anglican Worship and between 1980 and 2017 it was leased to the Celestial Church of Christ. By 2017 the building had deteriorated and was again closed after being declared unsafe for public use. The Diocese then began the research and fundraising necessary for its urgent restoration and re-opening as a community resource to be known as the Cloudesley Centre. Until 1814, when St Mary Magdalene, Holloway was consecrated as the chapel of ease, St Mary Islington was the only Anglican church in the rapidly growing parish. In May 1825, the Commissioners for Building and Promoting the Building of Additional Churches in Populous Districts made arrangements with the parish to build three additional chapels, with encouragement from the charismatic Vicar of St Mary’s, the Rev. Daniel Wilson, later Bishop of Calcutta. Although this was not the original plan, all three chapels – Holy Trinity, Cloudesley Square (consecrated 19 March 1829); St John’s, Upper Holloway (2 July 1828), and St Paul’s, Balls Pond Road (23 October 1828) – were designed by Sir Charles Barry.
