Légende

New Church of St. John the Evangelist, at Lowestoft, 1854. 'The Church is in the Geometrical Decorated, or Second Pointed style; and consists of a nave, north and south transepts, south aisles, chancel, and a tower end spire situated at the south-east corner...The tower has on two sides clock faces under projecting canopy roofs of stone, supported on elaborately moulded corbels; there are also angle- buttresses ; and a lofty broached spire is in progress. The exterior materials consist of Kentish rag-facing, with Caen stone dressings, and the contrast has a charming effect. The roofs are slated with green-grey Welsh rags, finished with a bold ornamental earthenware ridge cresting; and the gable of nave, chancel, and south transepts are finished with stone crosses...The builders of this fine Church are Messrs. Lucas, and the architect is Mr. J. L. Clemence, of Lowestoft', From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
