St. Peter's Church, Old Gravel-Lane, [London], 1869. New church '...built by the St. George's Mission...for this district of about 8000 souls. The sisters of the Mission teach in the schools, visit and relieve the poor, and take charge of an industrial school for training young girls for service. They also manage a penitentiary in the country, for the recovery of fallen women and girls from the east of London...St. Peter's Church is built in the style of the later First Pointed Gothic, being faced...internally with red bricks, having bands and patterns of black bricks. The columns of the main arches are of blue Pennant stone...In the transept gables are cusped wheel windows; the other windows are mostly single lights with trefoiled heads. The floors are laid with encaustic tiles in patterns...The architect is Mr. F. H. Pownall, of Gower-street'. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
