St. Andrew's New Church, Ashley-Place, Victoria-Street, [Westminster], 1854. 'It was at first hoped that it might be erected on a scale more worthy of its position; but, though munificently supported in several quarters, the general subscriptions have been so scanty as to necessitate the adoption of a comparatively humble design...There is no tower, that having been cut off from want of funds; but over the chancel arch is placed a bell-turret, of a lofty spire-like form, such as is usual in Belgium and Germany. The whole is carried out with scrupulous simplicity, ornament being sacrificed in every instance to height and boldness of affect'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
