St. Marys New Church, Herne Hill, 1844. Creator: Unknown
St. Marys New Church, Herne Hill, 1844. Church in south London: This highly-embellished structure (from the designs of Messrs. Stevens and Alexander)has just been completed, and will very shortly be consecrated for divine service...this new church, in ornamental beauty, may indeed be said to stand unrivalled. It occupies a commanding position on Herne Hill, near Dulwich and Camberwell; and its fine tower and spire are very effective, for a considerable distance. Throughout the whole structure, ancient architecture has been strictly adhered to. Tne style is that which is technically called the perpendicular Gothic, somewhat resembling that of the fifteenth century. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning St. Marys New Church in Herne Hill, London, as it stood proudly in 1844. The church, designed by Messrs. Stevens and Alexander, is a true masterpiece of architectural beauty that will soon be consecrated for divine service. Its highly embellished structure stands unrivalled in ornamental splendor. Perched on Herne Hill near Dulwich and Camberwell, this magnificent church commands attention with its impressive tower and spire visible from afar. Every detail of the building adheres strictly to ancient architecture, specifically the perpendicular Gothic style reminiscent of the fifteenth century. The engraving featured here was originally published in "Illustrated London News" during the nineteenth century – a testament to its historical significance. It captures not only the exterior grandeur but also reflects the prevailing Victorian Gothic revival movement that swept across Britain during that era. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a time when religion played an integral role in society's fabric. This print serves as a reminder of both our architectural heritage and our enduring spiritual connection. Credit must be given to Unknown for capturing this momentous piece of history through their lens or artistic interpretation. Through their work, they have immortalized St. Marys New Church for generations to come.
