The Church of the Holy Trinity, Lee, Kent, 1864. This church was consecrated by the Bishop of London on the 19th of November last. The plan consists of nave, chancel, north and south transepts, vestry, and organ-chamber. The nave and chancel are 34 ft. wide, the total length of the church being 125 ft. The roof is of deal, stained; the principals are supported on semicircular laminated ribs 11 in. deep. The pulpit and font are of Caen stone, enriched with foliage and inlaid bands. Accommodation is provided for 600 adults in open stalls, on the ground floor, and 150 in the western gallery, which is approached by a semicircular staircase, terminated by an open-framed bell-turret, roofed with slate. Sculpture is introduced in the tympanum of the west doorway: the subject is the creation of the world, in six medallions arranged round a centre one, which contains a conventional figure of the Creator. The church and parsonage adjoining, together with the site, are the free gift of Lewis Glenton, Esq., of Blackheath, at a cost of nearly ?10,000. The works have been carried out from the designs of Mr. Swinden Barber, of Buckingham-street, Adelphi. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
