Légende

New church at Swindon, on the Great Western Railway, 1845. St Mark's Church in Swindon, Wiltshire, designed by George Gilbert Scott I and William Bonython Moffatt. 'The Church...has been built entirely of stone, under the superintendence of Messrs. Scott and Moffatt. It is in the decorative style of the fourteenth century, with aisles, clerestory, chancel tower, and spire. The entire structure is 140 feet high, and will accommodate eight hundred persons, all the sittings being entirely free. The estimated cost is between £5000 and £6000. On the south of the church, a spacious piece of ground has been purchased by the Great Western Company, and laid out as a park or pleasure-ground for the inhabitants'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
