More about this scene
The view looks at St Mary's from the north, along a varied terrace of possibly late 18th- and 19th- century houses which are not enhanced by the long brick boundary wall. So far as the church tower is concerned, it is almost good enough to be in the West Country. However, the body of the building is modest, with a faithful partial restoration in 1878 by Sir Arthur Blomfield (1829-99), whose major work was the rebuilding of the nave and south transept to Southwark
