St. Ann's Church, Parsonage, and Schools, Hanger-Lane, Stamford-Hill, [London], 1861. 'This church, which, with the adjoining buildings of parsonage, schools, and model cottages, has been built at the sole expense of Fowler Newsam. Esq....The style of architecture is of the second Pointed period of the date of Edward III...The walls are constructed of brick, faced with Kentish ragstone; and the windows, doorways, buttresses, and dressings generally, are of Bath stone...The church will hold 625 persons, including 50 children...The church is very elaborate in design. It has good traceried windows, richly moulded doorways, and a very good-proportioned tower and spire...The parsonage adjoining is of a mediaeval character, to harmonise with the church, but it embraces all the modern comforts and improvements in the arrangements of the plan. The foundation-stone of the buildings was laid July, 1861, and in ten working months Mr. Myers, the builder, has completed the church and parsonage in a manner highly creditable to himself: it is undoubtedly, as he states, the best church he has built...Mr. Talbot Bury, of Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square, was the architect of both buildings. The cost of the church and parsonage excedes £11,000'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
