This black and white print depicts St. Stephen's Church, located in Westbourne-Park, Paddington, London, in the year 1856. The Early Decorated Gothic Revival style of the church is evident in its intricate details, with the square tower standing proudly at the center. The tower, approximately 23 feet in external dimensions, is supported by massive buttresses and reaches a total height of about 180 feet to the summit. The church's exterior is faced with Kentish rag-stone, laid in even courses, and adorned with Bath-stone dressings, windows, doors, columns, arches, and other details. The roofs are made of Memel timber. St. Stephen's Church was designed to accommodate 1500 persons, including children, and was expected to be ready for consecration by the end of May, 1856. The architects responsible for this architectural masterpiece were Messrs P. and H. Francis. This engraving was published in the prestigious "Illustrated London News" in 1856, providing a glimpse into the construction progress of this magnificent church during the Victorian era. The church's spire, with two tiers of dormers, adds to its grandeur, making it a notable landmark in the City of Westminster, London, England.
