Rosslyn-Hill Chapel, Pilgrim-Lane, Hampstead, [London], 1862. 'The accompanying illustration gives a perspective view of a Unitarian chapel lately erected in Pilgrim-lane, Hampstead, a short distance from the Heath. The style of architecture is Gothic of the Early Decorated period; the material employed is Hassock stone, faced externally with Kentish rag, with dressings of Bath stone. The roof is covered with slate or bands of two colours, and the bell-turret of oak shingle. Internally the roof is of one span, with curved braces. The entrance-porch on the south side conducts to a lobby at a right angle to it, this arrangement being adopted with a view to prevent the entrance of draughts, so often a source of inconvenience in churches and chapels. Accommodation is provided for 450 adults on the ground level, and provision is made for a gallery. The design is by Mr. John Johnson, architect, of John-street, Adelphi, and was carried out under his superintendence by Messrs. Dove, of Islington'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
