ARCHITECTURAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE PROVINCES. 

 By Mr. G. Godwin, Jun., F.R.S., &c. 

 Sir — I gladly comply with your request to be furnished v ith 

 some slight outline of the works in progress, or recently completed, 

 ■which have passed under my notice during a late tour of some of our 

 provincial towns; iirslly, because I believe it will tend to show that a 

 taste for architectural |iroductions is increasing, although perhaps 

 slowly, a fact w Inch cannot be uninteresting to 3'our readcM's generally ; 

 and secondly, because I think all such notices are likely to be ser- 

 viceable in a wide degree, by leading attention to our art, and stimu- 

 lating to activity its professors. The remarks are necessarily short — 

 the towns spoken of are few, nevertheless, if from the foot we may 

 judge the statue, they will serve as tolerably satisfactory data. 



I may premise that a very excellent spirit seems every where ap- 

 parent. Ranges of straight brick boxes with holes cut out of them for 

 light and air, and dignified with the name of houses, no longer prevail. 

 If a farm labourer's residence be erec.'ted, the gables are adorned with 

 ornamental barge-boards, and the cliimnies are carried uji in such a 

 form as to give to the building something like architectural character. 

 The inhabitants of the larger towns are beginning to migrate to the 

 suburbs, leaving the former wholly as places of connnerce, and for them, 

 in consequence, small villa residences are arising in all directions. 

 These in many cases are excellent in design, — indeed it is said they 

 will not let if they be not at all events more ornamental than the houses 

 of business within the towns, a circumstance easily understood, and 

 which will uci'essarily iniluce the bestowal of thought 011 the subject, 

 anil an ultimate improvement. 



In the neighbourhood of Manchester for example, at Broughton 

 Hill, and at Cheetham, there are several very elegant residences liuilt 

 from the designs of Messrs. Young and Westall, Mr. Aley, and Mr. 

 Atkinson: these are ciiietly in the Italian style, and show much taste 

 and skill. Mr. Atkinson has nearly conqilcted a very pleasing church 

 at Cheetham, named St. Luke's. It is in the style of the ])erpendicular 

 period of pointed architecture, and presents some details of more than 

 ordinary excellence. The tower and spire, wholly of stone as is the 

 rest of the exterior, are particularly worthy of notice, although they 

 would have been better if the richly crocketted spire had been more 

 lofty, — that it was not so, however, proceeded jirobably less from the 

 architect's will Ihaa from circumstances l^eyoml his cojitroul. A range 



of detached, or rather perforated buttresses on each side of the building 

 produces a good eH'ect of light and shade. The interior is evidently 

 the result of careful study and has many points of novelty, so far as 

 regards modern churches. The east end is tastefully adorned with 

 canopied niches and panelled work in plaster ; and the centre of each 

 compartment of the gallery-front has a small canopied niche and figure 

 also in plaster. Perhaps the least elfective part of the church is the 

 roof, the tindjers and ribs of which are somewhat too small. The 

 reading desk consists siuqjly of a carved eagle on a stand, in the old 

 cathedral fashion, with a large Gothic chair for the nunister; while 

 the pulpit has around its |)edestal sculptured figures and is otherwise 

 decorated, shewing that Mr. Atkinson had a power of expenditure not 

 often permitted to architects in these days of mistaken economy. The 

 whole cost nevertheless is said to have been hardly 10,01)1)/. 



In the town several works are in progress. The Athena"um built 

 under the directiini of Mr. Barry is nearly completed, and an Unitarian 

 chapel by the same architect, in Upper Brook -street, is quite so. This 

 latter edifice I did not see: according to an informant however, it is 

 in the early pointeil style of architecture, and quite worthy of Mr. 

 Barry's reputation.* In Mosely-street a large and lofty pile of buildings 

 is going on which pronuses to present a striking elevation. It is in 

 two stories, and although intended only for warehousing goods, ex- 

 hibits ranges of three-quarter columns at both extrenuties, and pilasters 

 in the intermediati- space, bearing continued entablatures. These 

 buildings have a peculiarity which I have not elsewhere observed. 

 The walls of the basement story are cased extei-nally with cast-iron 

 plates, with what particular intention however, did not appear to me 

 cpute ck'ar on a hasty inspection. 



Vou will be glad to learn that the Architectural Society at Man- 

 chester are pursuing steadily their useful course. Whethnthe great 

 iuqji'ovement in matters of taste apparent in Manchester, is actually 

 the result of their operations or not, one may not venture to say, but 

 certain it is, they cannot fail to do much good by awakening public 

 attention to the importance and agreeableness of architecture as a fine 

 art, and assisting to develope the talents of the younger members of 

 the profession. That they are assisting in tliis latter purpose is per- 

 haps apparent in the fact that Mr. Edward Hall, to whom a medal of 



* A notice of this Church is given in the October Number of our Journal.
