Free Church, Ormond Road, Richmond, Surrey

RICHMOND —The new Free Church, Ormond road, Richmond, Surrey, was opened on Thursday, April 16th. The building stands on rising ground, with ample space on all sides, and the total cost of the works, including land, has been about £5,000. The church has been erected by Messrs Holloway Brothers, of Battersea, from the designs, and under the personal superintendence, of the architect, Mr T. Locke Worthington, ARIBA, of Queen Anne's Gate, Westminster. The walls are of brick, with buff terracotta dressings, as supplied by the Burmantofts Works. The vestibule and high dado round church are of oak, and the little nave, measuring 60 feet by 30 feet, is divided by three oak aisles.  There are two transepts for organ and church offices respectively, the latter being divided off by a silent proof screen. The choir apse has an arcade running round about 8 feet from ground, all detail being in buff terracotta. The church is heated by three Musgrave stoves, the flues being carried up to the highest points of the building. [Building News 24 April 1896 page 618].
