The Church builder
The Church Builder is an 1862 London periodical from the Incorporated Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels, published by Rivingtons for clergy and church committees planning new or restored places of worship. Its plates are rotated engravings of parish churches, each showing a exterior elevation with spires, buttresses, pointed Gothic windows and churchyard trees, drawn in clean black line that a designer could use as reference for Victorian Gothic revival architecture and ecclesiastical ornament.
