Details

In the entry for:- West Ferry Road, E14 TQ 3778 (East Side) 30/896 27.9.73 St Paul's Presbyterian Church II

The description shall be amended to read:-

Former Presbyterian church. 1859, by T E Knightly. Brown Flemish band brick with stone and polychromatic brick dressings; gabled slate roof. One-cell plan with square sanctuary to east end. North Italian Romanesque style. Gabled west front, of 3 stages, has semi-circular polychromatic brick arches over central doorway with cushion capitals to engaged stone shafts, panelled double doors and carved stone tympanum flanked by 2 boarded cast-iron windows; first-storey has continuous arcade of 9 semi- circular polychromatic brick arches set on stone colonettes with cushion capitals and moulded bases; panelled stone-coped parapet flanks gabled upper stage with similar arcade of 5 arches.

Four-bay north and south elevations have semi-circular polychromatic brick arches, over 4-light cast-iron windows; heavy stepped brick eaves courses; clerestorey, clad in fish-scale slates, has 3-light windows each with stone semi-circular arcade set on colonettes with cushion capitals and moulded bases; one window to south has been removed for inserted mid C20 entry. Plain extension of 1905 added at right angles to east end. Interior: semi- circular sanctuary arch set on stone colonettes with inverted volutes to cushion capitals; stone steps to balcony with panelled front set on cast- iron columns; 4-bay roof with arch braces built of laminated timber, an early example of its use. Foundation stone, to right of west door, was laid by John Scott Prussel - a Scottish shipbuilder who had worked at the nearby Napier yard on the Great Eastern and other ships; there is a tradition that St Paul's was built to serve the needs of Scottish ironworkers brought to work on the Great Eastern.
