About This Book

The volume presents a detailed architectural and historical survey of a central London parish, documenting boundaries, streets and individual buildings. It pairs descriptive history with measured drawings, elevations, photographs and maps to record houses, churches, public and institutional sites, and their notable features. Arranged street by street, entries trace development, alterations and former uses, and the work includes plate descriptions, plans and an index. The combined illustrations and text enable readers to follow the parish’s changing built fabric and to identify architectural details and surviving monuments.
