St Vincent's Chapel
From the 'Building Chronicle' Vol: 2 page 114, Oct: 1 1856.
In the present number we give as one of the illustrations a Chapel which has just been erected in St Vincent Street for the Episcopal Congregation under the Ministry of the Reverend R Hibbs MA.
As will be observed, it is of the 'decorated' period, and consists of a nave and aisle with chancel and Vestry.
It stands on a triangular site, and the architect has, with much advantage, made use of all the ground at his command.
The interior is divided with dressed stone pillars with nave and aisle, the roof is very simple of open timber, stained and varnished.
The windows are filled with tracery and nave stone dressing and drop arches.
The Chapel is seated, on the ground floor, for 450, the gallery, not being required at present, is not to be erected.
Messrs Hay of Liverpool are the architects and Currie and Taylor are the joiners and the mason work is to be executed by Mr Bonnar, Clarence Street, who has also the contract for 'Free Buccleuch' Church.
The design and execution of the Church reflect great credit on all parties concerned.
Inf. from Revd. Malcolm A Clarke.
