View of '...a church of wood which has just been erected in the district of Kentish-Town, St. Pancras, [London], for the use of the congregation, while the parochial chapel is undergoing extensive alterations and enlargement. It is built entirely of wood, on brick foundations, and is the work of Mr. Peter Thompson, of Lime-house...The outside panels and the entire of the roof are covered with "Croggan?s Patent Asphalted Felt", a non-conductor of both heat and cold; the roofs being covered, as well as all the outside wood and tbe open roof inside, with "Jeffery?s Patent Marine Glue", the colour of which on the wood has a fine rich effect, and it is the most perfect non-absorbent of moisture and non-conductor of electric fluid'.
