Church of the Holy Trinity, Bishop's-Road, Paddington, 1845. New church in London. 'The design is in the perpendicular or best style of English architecture. It is built of Kentish rag-stone, with dressings of Bath stone...The Tower, beneath which is the western entrance, is ornamented with pinnacles; and the spire will be octangular and crocketed at the angles. the height will be, to the apex of the spire, two hundred and nineteen feet...The architect is Mr. Thomas Cundy; and the design will add to his already established reputation in church-building. Messrs. Higgs and Son are the builders; and, from the style in which they have already executed a large portion of the work, there is every reason to believe that full justice will be done to the design'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
