"Here, all the rich architectural features are a logical expression of the plan. A straightforward rectangular building, roofed from end to end, it has a great Corinthian portico approached by a broad flight of steps and a western steeple of singular beauty."
Sir Banister Fletcher. A History of Architecture, p1056.
