The Edwardian-era design exudes an air of grandeur with its intricate interior decoration and square layout. It is a place where Christianity meets artistry. Griggs' monochrome composition emphasizes every detail within this sacred space. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the image while highlighting the religious significance that permeates throughout.
