Leicester: South Porch of St. Margaret's Church, 1868. 'As we...look over the pleasant country, which here presents a genuine English landscape, the eye is arrested by the numerous churches which adorn the town, and tell by the decency and order of their appointments and the large sums which have been expended over them that much of the old spirit which reared these noble fanes is still alive. The light and elegant spire of St. Mary's, and the more massive but not less beautiful spire of St. Martin's, are conspicuous objects; while the noble tower of St. Margaret's adds solidity and grandeur to the view...but, though admirably adapted for pictorial representation as an interesting ruin, it greatly needs the same spirit of restoration to be applied to it as that from which the other churches and public buildings of Leicester have so largely profited'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
