Photographic copies of a design entry for a new church. (Vol 2) Perspective - I. Holden & Son and west elevation. West elevation - similarities to Notre Dame Paris - 3 doorways etc. Perspective from north east shows tower and spire over crossing, towers with pyramid roofs at the eat end of each aisle, apsidal end to nave at high level. apsidal end to chancel. Cathedral-like proportions. Totally unlike Holden’s normal works.
