   1826-9. by Rickman and Hutchinson. Only the West front of the church survives.
   Either side of the projecting tower, tall Ionic quadrant porticos whose plain
   entablature is continued across the lower part of the tower which is of 2
   stages. The first stage rectangular with columns and pediment to each face,
   the second an austerely plain octagon surmounted by an arrangement of metal
   that reads as a cross equally from all 4 cardinal directions and from above.
   The remains supported at the back (ie to the east) by a shelter-like structure
   with 2 columns built in connection with the laying out of the adjacent garden in
   1955 in commemoration of the Coronation.
