1877 – Church of All Souls, Harlesden, London

Architect: E.J. Tarver

0002

This church is a large brick octagon – a plan associated more often at this date with Nonconformist churches. Originally built to seat 471, in 1890, the church was enlarged to 800 seats by the addition of a five-bay nave. The exterior and plan derive from the Rhineland late Romanesque. Sanctuary has a canted apse, with a dwarf gallery flanked by two turrets, the windows a mixture of round and pointed forms.
