The Church builder
The Church Builder is an 1862 London publication by the Incorporated Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels, issued by Rivingtons for clergy and parish church-building committees. Its engravings show English parish churches, churchyard monuments and stone crosses, drawn in fine black line with dense hatching and shaded ground. A designer could take from them the vocabulary of Gothic church massing, tower and gable silhouettes, and carved churchyard detail.
