Scope and Content St John's Episcopal Church (interior), Princes Street, Edinburgh, looking east to the chancel St John's Episcopal Church, at the west end of Princes Street Gardens, was completed in 1818 at a cost of £18,000. Designed by William Burn in the Perpendicular style, it has a splendid interior modelled on St George's Chapel, Windsor. The tall arcades of the nave have clustered shafts, each topped by a projecting figure of Mary Magdalene, and a fan-vaulted ceiling in plaster. The pews, by Peddie and Kinnear, date from 1867. In the chancel of the church is a memorial to Dean Edward Ramsay (1793-1872), minister of St John's for 44 years. A respected philanthropist, his humorous book 'Reminiscences of Scottish Life and Character' was enormously popular. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
