Church, Soho
G.V. II*
Church tower. 1801-03 by S. P. Cockerell, the body of the church, by Wren or
Talman, blitzed and since entirely demolished. Stock brick and Portland stone,
lead spire cum clock tower. Exceptional and original exercise in neo-classical
rationalism with sophisticated planar modelling. 3 stages, the lower 2 in brick
on stone plinth with semicircular arched recess and flanking battered buttress-
piers slightly inset from corner, block cornice with stone tablet set below
"hanging" over recess; stone plinth to 2nd stage with shallow segmented recess
cut out above block cornice, louvred oculus and quoin pilasters with
corresponding breaks in cornice and blocking course above; tall stone belfry
with marked batter, chamfered corners and Doric columns "squeezed" in antis
flanking louvred openings, deeply moulded crowning cornice. Above rises the
remarkable steeple cum clock tower starting off as a truncated stone cone,
becoming a lead drum with oculi and then waisted before swelling as
intersecting "barrels" for the 4 clock faces, finished off with finial and
weathervane.
