EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the interior of the Church of St. Stephen, located on Rochester-Row in the heart of Westminster, London, in the year 1850. The construction of this magnificent Neo-Gothic masterpiece began on July 20, 1847, and was solely funded by the generous benefaction of Miss Burdett Coutts. The chancel, a stunning architectural feature of the church, boasts a polygonal ceiling, divided into panels, with ribs adorned with intricately carved and emblazoned bosses, bearing various Christian emblems. The panels are further enhanced with an ultra-marine color scheme, dotted with gold stars. The beautiful decorations of the chancel ceiling, reredos, and texts are the masterful creations of Mr. Hudson and Mr. West. The chancel floor is paved with Minton's encaustic tiles, adding to the overall grandeur of the space. Benjamin Ferrey, of Charing-cross, is the architect responsible for designing this breathtaking Church, and Messrs. Rigby, of Holy well-street, served as the contractors. The chandelier, pews, and presses are all testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the exquisite craftsmanship that went into the creation of this Victorian Gothic masterpiece. Consecrated in the Illustrated London News in 1850, this print offers a rare glimpse into the history and beauty of St. Stephen's Church, a religious and architectural gem in the heart of Westminster, London.
