Wycliffe Chapel, Birmingham, 1864. 'This building is in the fourteenth-century style of Gothic architecture...The chapel is used by the Baptists, and stands at the comer of Saint Luke's-street, in Bristol-road, Birmingham. It seats about 800 persons...A platform at the end of the chapel, opposite the end gallery, affords space for the pulpit - of carved stone, beautifully cut by Wood, of Lichfield - and for the baptistery, of white marble. The roofs of the chapel are divided into three, those over the galleries being arched and groined in wood, and that over the centre part being framed and panneled. The platform in the chapel, the baptistery, the lead flat at the roof-ridge where the ventilators stand, many of the gables, the outside fence, and other parts of the building, including the iron columns, had been enriched by wrought metal-work, manufactured by Mr. Thomas Brawn, of Clement- street, Birmingham. The works were built at a cost of £6000, by Messrs. Hardwick and Son, of Birmingham, under the directions of Mr. James Cranston, architect, also of Birmingham'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
