St. Saviour's Church, Clapham, 1864. Creator: Unknown
St. Saviour's Church, Clapham, [London], 1864. 'The new church in Cedars-road, Clapham-common was built by the Rev. Wentworth Bowyer, Rector of Clapham, at a cost of about £10,000. The architect is Mr. James Knowles, jun. The style is Second Pointed. The building is cruciform, its length being 120ft. and its width 49 ft.; while the length of the transepts is 77 ft. It has a large central tower, 120 ft. high and 30 ft. square. The whole is built of Kentish rag, with Bath stone dressings, the interior piers being of Portland stone. The stained-glass windows are by Messrs. Clayton and Bell. In this church, placed temporarily under the tower, is an altar-tomb, bearing on it a recumbent effigy of Mrs. Bowyer, co-foundress of the church, who died just before its completion. The carving of the tomb, the pulpit, and the font, which are all of stone, is very good, and the general effect of the interior is remarkably fine. Of the external appearance our Engraving gives a faithful representation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
