1881 – St. Michael’s Church, Camden Town, London

The first London church designed by Bodley and Garner and is finished externally in brick with stone dressings in the decorated Gothic style. The nave, begun in 1880, was consecrated by Bishop Walsham How on Michaelmas 1881. The chancel and the north chapel were added between 1892 and 1894. A north west tower was planned but never built.

“This is a reproduction of the most important drawing by Messrs. Bodley and Garner on view at the present Academy Exhibition. It is a perspective of the west front and intended tower of the largo church of St. Michael, now in course of construction at Camden-town. The style is that of the earlier part of the 14th century ; brick is being used for the main structure, the piers, windows, and arches being of stone. The foundation-stone was laid on the 5th June of last year.”
