Légende

New French Protestant Episcopal Church, Bloomsbury, 1845. '...this newly-erected edifice, in Bloomsbury-street (late Plumtree-street, (St. Giles's), was consecrated, with the accustomed ceremonies, by the Lord Bishop of London. This church was originally established by King Charles II., in the year 1661, in the Savoy Palace, Strand; has been re-constructed on its present site by the descendants of French Protestant refugees, the ground being granted for that purpose by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. The new church has been built from the designs of Mr. Ambrose Poynter: it is in the early English style; the principal front has a large and lofty window, flanked by two smaller ones; and the gable is surmounted by an enriched cross. At the opposite end of the edifice is a low campanile, or bell-tower'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
