New Church of St. Matthias, on Richmond-Hill, 1858. Creator: Unknown
New Church of St. Matthias, on Richmond-Hill, 1858. The new church is advantageously situated on the outskirts of the town, and forms a striking object far and near in the landscape. The general effect of the exterior will be gained by an inspection of the accompanying Illustration, which is taken from the north-east. The walls are of Kentish rag, with dressings of white stone, and the roofs are covered with Bangor slates. The style adopted is the Geometrical Pointed, but it is by no means lavish in ornament, for, with the exception of the west front, the effect of the design depends chiefly upon the boldness of its parts...Mr. Gilbert Scott, of Spring-gardens, is the architect; and the builders are Messrs. Piper and Son, of Bishopsgate-street. The cost of the building and fittings up to the present time has been about £9000, which has been raised entirely by voluntary subscriptions - the sum of £1500 being required to complete the beautiful tower and spire, which have for the present been left unfinished, but will be proceeded with forthwith'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
New Church of St. Matthias, Richmond-Hill, 1858: A Striking Architectural Gem The New Church of St. Matthias, located on the outskirts of Richmond-hill, is a captivating architectural masterpiece that has stood the test of time. This image, taken from the north-east, showcases the church's impressive exterior, which is both visually striking and harmonious with its surroundings. The church's walls are constructed of Kentish rag, with white stone dressings, while the roofs are covered with Bangor slates. The architectural style adopted for this magnificent building is the Geometrical Pointed, which is characterized by its boldness and simplicity. The design's overall effect is not overly ornate, with the exception of the west front, which adds to the building's grandeur. Mr. Gilbert Scott, a renowned architect from Spring-gardens, was responsible for the church's design, while Messrs. Piper and Son, of Bishopsgate-street, served as the builders. The cost of constructing the building and its fittings up to that point was approximately £9000, which was entirely funded through voluntary subscriptions. The completion of the beautiful tower and spire, which have yet to be finished, will require an additional £1500. The New Church of St. Matthias is a testament to the power of community spirit and architectural innovation. Its striking design and prominent location make it a beloved landmark in Richmond-hill, and a must-see destination for visitors to the area.
