Légende

New parish church of St. Paul, Hammersmith, 1883. 'Only the nave and aisles are yet constructed. The church is built from the designs of Mr. Hugh Roumieu Gough, with whom Mr. J. P. Seddon has been associated as joint architect. This edifice, when completed, will be over 190 ft. in length by 73 ft. wide and 63 ft. high, and will accommodate about 1100 persons. The exterior walls are of red Mansfield stone...The want of a new church for this large parish has long been felt. The old church was built in 1631, as a chapel of ease to Fulham, when Hammersmith was a mere hamlet...The Vicar of the parish is the Rev. J. H. Snowden. The Bishop of Bedford, who was accompanied at the consecration service by the Rural Deans, the Rev. Canon Cromwell, the Rev. Capel Cure, and several other clergymen, preached a sermon, and exhorted the congregation to make an earnest effort to clear off the debt of £1500 on the new building. It is hoped that means will soon be forthcoming to complete the church by the erection of a tower and chancel, as designed by the architect, when the parishioners of Hammersmith will be able to boast of having one of the finest churches in London'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
