committee having finally decided to adopt the plan pre-
pared by Mr. Hall, of London, for the erection of a
new Trinity clinch, we may refer, wit out any
bedtimes,. to miti ite of the design sent in by a Dorset
architect, which was the second in favour throughout
the timpetitinn, via, that of Mr William Norman,
arbhitect of Waymou.h. And we cannot conceal a
feeling of pride. that •gentleman of our own coital
should have at iod in so honourab'e • posltinit amongst
the twenty-seven compeitors frdin all parts of the
kingdom tor the 1:50 premium offered. More than
this— we are dsp led to think, that if Mr. Norman
had not goes out of his way to provide • church above
all things convenient, and which involved the novelty
of • single-span roof, his plan would have been placed '
In the p amt., position. Mr. Norman's design wt Ibe
remembered by such of our readers as went to vie*
them, when exhibited at the Guildhall, pa ma-bad With
the cyper, double titaness ; end, it the whole of the
eight drawings, the nicesdeptetnin &nee of gee colour-
ing was studiously avoided. The style of architecture
adopted was i hit of the Decorated polod. which is
pref. red by many to the severe simplicity of the
pointed style or Early English, and it has then lditional
reoommend•tion in this county of being less common
than the last-mentioned order The plan is eruciform,
and it was arranged for the church to stead north and
south The elevation fronting the street
,pr• nests a
handsome appearance. A massive teur kends at the
south-west angle, in the upper part of which on each
fess are two two-light Windows, with traceried heads,
divided by cielsizanis. Ornamental pinnacles rise from
the towel end • spire the height of which firm the
grodui is 150 feet. 'he pnticipal entrance is by •
noor node nesUi the tower, haring a cluster of
throe shafts on each side of the arch soitably orna-
mented. In the end of the nave abutting upon the
1 street are three two light windows, with heads

has a very plea-lot offset Abort) these hg to is
inserted a quairefoil, and below them the :dummies
of the well is sillfully relieved by a neat arcade. The
south-west angle of the nay, has a ;Amnesic and the
apex of the genie an ornamental done., gi•ing an
Utistic finish to the elevation, We may notice, too,
th,t the height of the nave. 67 feet, gives an imposing
&ppm ante to the church, which a letter altitude
cannot produce. There is a second atirace on the east
side, by a handsome porch, and provision was made
for a third if masked, but Mr. No man avoided too
many dot I as occasioning draughts. The tot ricer
presents an are =gement at once novel and convenient
bly adopting a single-span roof, there is no obatruation
of the sight of any of the congregation by pima as is
usually the case, the whole of the sittings being arranged
in the tiara. Nevertheless, the aichitecturol beauty
of having an arcade on each side of lin nate -and
especially of the Decorated order -Is not thereby lost,
for they are provided, Mile the aisles we narrower
th in usual, being itittply desi/ned for walking in. The
Save is lighted by five isige two-light windows on
each aide in the clerestory, and the anis walls are each
pleroed with five single lights. Large window' are
also provided at the end of each transepts where the
seats for the school children were arranged The roof
of the nave is omit timbered, with laminate I ribs
carried low down, and the walla are strengthened by
flying buttresses. The chancel is designed with an
&palatal termination. Here aeon are i rorided for the
choir, and the organ chamber is laced on the east
side with an opening into the thanes. andalso into the
nave, but from the letter it is divided by an orna-
mental screen. The vestry it paced on the west aide,
and hita a similar *men separating it from the nave.
The building Wm to be of local stone, with Bath stone
dressings. It will be observed that Mr. Norman's
design provided everything in the way of eonvenieno%

and at the same time a amount of architectural
elegance. We ahould n ye re/erred to it, bail not

so now in Order that r. Norman, an a•chiteat of
the county, may have the credit he is entitled to.
