1872 – Church of St. Bridget, Wavertree, Liverpool

Elevation, section & plans from The Building News, December 8th 1876. The foundation stone was laid on 21 September 1868 and the church was consecrated in 1872. The architect was E. A. Heffer who designed the exterior of the church and its fittings. The church is built in the style of an Italianate basilica, finished in polychromic brick with banding of red and blue. The plan consists of a nine-bay nave with a clerestory, lean-to aisles, a chancel with a round apse and a high thin northwest campanile with narrow lights. All the windows are round-headed. Inside the church are arcades of nine bays with round arches supported by scagliola columns. The capitals alternately have oak and acanthus decoration. The ceilings are richly ornamented and coffered.
