New Church of St. Peter, on the site of Vauxhall Gardens, 1864. Creator: Unknown
New Church of St. Peter, on the site of Vauxhall Gardens, [London], 1864. 'The architect is Mr. Pearson, of Harley-street, who has, with the builders, Messrs. Longmire and Burge, formed a church which, whether ecclesiologically or architecturally regarded, is one of the best specimens of modem art...The chancel is apsidal, and for some distance above the foot-pace of the altar, which is on five steps, is prepared for fresco-painting; while three stained-glass windows are already in hand for filling up the east end lights. Very handsome and substantial choir stalls of carved oak are to the westward of the sanctuary, in which the architect has placed three stone sedilia. The pillars supporting the nave arcade are massive, but are not yet finished. The font stands at the south-west, just inside the Galilee porch. The pulpit is a massive work in stone, by Poole, with a mosaic representing the Sermon on the Mount; and the open benches will be for ever free and unappropriated to all classes of the neighbourhood without distinction - poor as well as rich. There is a semi-transept on the north side, in which is the entrance to the vestry, and which is calculated to hold 300 school children'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
