Légende

Church of St. John the Evangelist, Penge Common, [South London]. 1850. 'This neat and substantial Church has just been erected near the Almshouses of the Watermens Company, at Penge Common, contiguous to the Sydenham station of the Croydon Railway. It is Intended for the accommodation of the inmates of the Asylum, and for the inhabitants of the locality in general...The style of the building is Early English, of extremely plain character, hut effectively carried out, both as respects proportion and detail. The materials are Kentish rag-stone, with Bath stone dressings...the main feature being a tower and spire, about 150 feet high...the entire building reflects the highest credit upon Messrs. Round and Nash, the architects, Great George-street, Bermondsey; and on Mr. Myers, the contractor'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
