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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the New Church of St. Peter, located on the site of Vauxhall Gardens in London in 1864. Designed by Mr. Pearson of Harley Street and built by Messrs. Longmire and Burge, this church is hailed as one of the best examples of modern ecclesiastical and architectural art.
The chancel features an apsidal design with space for fresco-painting above the altar, which sits on five steps. Three stained-glass windows are being created to adorn the east end lights, adding a touch of color and beauty to the interior. The choir stalls made of carved oak are both handsome and substantial, while stone sedilia can be found westward of the sanctuary.
Massive pillars support the nave arcade, though they are still awaiting completion at the time this photo was taken. A stone pulpit by Poole featuring a mosaic depicting the Sermon on the Mount stands proudly within the church, along with open benches available to all members of society without distinction.
With a semi-transept for school children and a vestry entrance on its north side, this church is designed to accommodate all who wish to worship within its walls - rich or poor alike. This print truly captures not just a building but a place that welcomes all with open arms.
