Hartshill Church, 1845. Holy Trinity Church at Hartshill in Warwickshire. 'This Church, which is of Anglo Norman character, having a beautiful deeply-recessed western doorway, with a rose window above and the emblems of the four Evangelists carved in stone, was commenced upwards of two years ago, from a design by T. L. Walker, Esq. It is built chiefly of Hartshill stone, the gift of Richard Jee, Esq., and is adapted for the accommodation of six hundred worshippers, including four hundred free sittings...The whole amount of the subscription has, however, been spent in completing the external building...an appeal is now being made by means of a Bazaar (to be held next month), which has received very kind and distinguished patronage; and it is greatly to be hoped that the ladies will have the satisfaction of being instrumental in completing this good work'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
