New congregational church at St. Leonards-on-Sea, 1864. Creator: Unknown
New congregational church at St. Leonards-on-Sea, 1864. 'The new Congregational Church at St. Leonards is a large building in the Early Gothic style...The exterior is adorned with a fine row of large Gothic traceried windows of different patterns, with gablets over each; and the roofs are covered with slates laid in patterns and bands of different colours. At the principal front is a lofty tower and slated spire. This is so placed as to be a very prominent feature from the principal road, and it is a very conspicuous object in the landscape, being visible from a considerable distance. The belfry windows have granite shafts and carving. Tire principal entrances are under the tower. These are wide and commodious, and afford ample means of ingress and egress. Beneath is a large and light school-room, the entire size of the church; and in the rear are minister's and deacons' vestries and the usual offices. The principal windows are filled in with stained glass, the gift of a friend. The church is built of the local stone of the country...The dressings are of Bath stone. The architect is Mr. Edward Habershon...The builder is Mr. S. Simpson...The cost of the church and schoolroom. including the freehold site, will exceed £8000'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the grandeur of the New Congregational Church at St. Leonards-on-Sea in 1864. The church, designed in the Early Gothic style by architect Mr. Edward Habershon, is a true masterpiece of architecture. Adorned with large Gothic traceried windows and a lofty tower with a slated spire, it stands out as a prominent feature in the landscape.
The exterior of the church is truly impressive, with its intricate patterns of slates and bands of different colors creating a visually striking facade. The belfry windows are detailed with granite shafts and carving, adding to the overall elegance of the building.
The interior is just as remarkable, with stained glass windows donated by a generous friend adding color and light to the space. Below the main sanctuary lies a spacious schoolroom, while minister's and deacons' vestries can be found in the rear.
Built at a cost exceeding £8000 including the freehold site, this church is not only an architectural marvel but also serves as an important hub for worship and community gatherings. This print truly captures the beauty and craftsmanship that went into creating this historic place of worship in St. Leonards-on-Sea.
