Légende

The Church of St. Stephen, Shepherd's Bush - Consecrated on Thursday, 1850. 'The Church, which has been erected in little more than six months, by the Messrs. Bird, of Hammersmith, from designs by Mr. A. Salvin, of Argyle-street, is a light and elegant structure...The Rev. Mr. Humphrey...alluded to the magnificent temple erected by Solomon in token of his homage, and as an acceptable offering to the Lord; and they were now, after an interval of 3000 years, imitating his glorious example; pointing out...the marked and important distinctions that existed between a Jewish temple and a Christian church - between the sacrifice of goats and oxen, which were offered to propitiate God's mercy and goodness in this life, and the commemoration of the death and passion of our Saviour...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
