DERBY —The Special Purposes Committee of St. Thomas’ Church, Derby, have selected the design of Mr. F. W. Dixon, of Guardian Buildings, Manchester, and Union-street, Oldham, submitted in open competition, for proposed new Parish Hall and Sunday-school. The selected design shows a Late Gothic treatment in red brick and terra-cotta, with a rich tracery window in terra-cotta towards the main road. The coping to gables, etc., will be in Matlock stone; whilst the inside joiners’ work will be in selected pitch pine, and the windows glazed with leaded lights. A combined system of heating and ventilation will be adopted upon a low-pressure basis. A caretaker’s house is also included in the scheme. [Builder 12 October 1895 page 257-258]
