EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts St. Barnabas Church and College in Pimlico, London, as it appeared in the year 1850. The image was published in the Illustrated London News, following the consecration of the church by the Bishop of London. The buildings are constructed primarily of Kentish rag-stone, with Caen stone used for the dressings and spire. The roofs of the church, chancel, sacristy, and choir vestry are all crafted from oak. The architectural style of the church is described as the first pointed or early English Gothic, a popular choice during the Victorian Gothic Revival. The builders responsible for the project were Messrs. Higgs and Son, while the architects were Messrs. Cundy. This magnificent structure, with its intricate details and grandeur, stands as a testament to the religious and architectural sensibilities of the 19th century. The print, an engraving from the Illustrated London News archives, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and history of this remarkable church in Pimlico.
