Interior of the New Greek Church London Wall, 1850. 'The interior...is peculiar, being very lofty...the ceiling is arched, paneled...the spandrils being ornamented with enriched paneling. On the northern and southern sides are galleries supported on arches, highly decorated, springing from pillars having extremely bold and effective capitals, the fronts of the galleries containing panels filled with elaborately-worked flower ornaments...The altar-screen is divided into a centre and two wings; the central portion projects, and has an arched doorway, between pilasters...on either hand, pictures are in sunken panels, and above the architrave...are pilasters and panels corresponding in number to those in the story below'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
