EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the mid-19th century, showcases the breathtaking exterior of the New Church of St. Paul in Rusthall, near Tunbridge Wells, England. The early English Gothic Revival architecture, with its thick stone walls sourced from Mr. Powell's quarry, is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of its creators. The church, designed by the esteemed architect Henry J. Stevens of Derby, boasts a capacity of 430 adults and children. The tower, 23 feet square externally and 78 feet high, is a striking feature of the church, supported by bold splayed piers and arches. The octagonal stone turret terminates under the upper stage, and the belfry is adorned with four moulded lancelets opening on each face, topped with corbelled parapets. The roofs are elegantly covered with Staffordshire tiles. Henry J. Stevens was assisted in the superintendence by N.E. Stevens of Rusthall, while the construction was overseen by Mr. Constable of Penshurst. This impressive structure, a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic design, stands as a symbol of the religious and architectural heritage of Speldhurst, Kent, England. This photograph print, originally published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of this remarkable place of worship. The New Church of St. Paul in Rusthall remains a captivating example of the neo-Gothic architectural movement that swept through Britain during the 19th century.
