The Church of the Holy Trinity, Lee, Kent, 1864
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and architectural detail of The Church of the Holy Trinity in Lee, Kent, consecrated in 1864. Designed by Mr. Swinden Barber, this church boasts a nave, chancel, transepts, vestry, and organ-chamber. The roof is made of stained deal with semicircular laminated ribs supporting the principals. The pulpit and font are crafted from Caen stone adorned with intricate foliage designs.
Accommodating 600 adults on the ground floor and 150 in the western gallery accessed by a semicircular staircase leading to an open-framed bell-turret roofed with slate, this church is truly a work of art both inside and out. Sculpture adorns the west doorway depicting the creation of the world in six medallions surrounding a figure of the Creator.
The generous donation from Lewis Glenton allowed for this magnificent structure to be built at a cost close to £10,000. This print serves as a reminder of not only its historical significance but also its enduring beauty that continues to captivate all who visit it today.
