Holy Trinity Chapel School at Reach, Cambridgeshire, 1860. Newly constructed Christian school. 'As the building is to serve as a church as well as a school, greater care has been bestowed on the details than would have been required in an ordinary country schoolhouse; yet all is rough and serviceable, and without architectural pretence, as may be judged from the cost, which, without forms, desks, and such fittings, but including pulpit, the stores, and the bell, is somewhat under £600...the central window of the apse - a present - is stained glass by Lavers and Barraud. The whole effect of the building, exterior and interior, is very good, and reflects great credit on the architect, Mr. Charles Forster Hayward, of Adam-street, Adelphi, and on the builders, Messrs. William Bell and Sons, of Cambridge'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
