NOTES: The foundation stone for the church was laid in May 1844 and the chapel opened on September 17, 1845. It was destroyed by bombs in 1941 and its site reused after the war for city-centre redevelopment. This design is one of a number of drawings bound into five volumes entitled 'Architectural works of George Wightwick', made between 1832 and 1850. Wightwick instructed his articled pupils to make this detailed set of retrospective drawings to illustrate every building of importance he had designed. The drawings were intended to serve both as a record of Wightwick's completed buildings and as a method of conveying to his students the design process from initial working design to finished structure.
