This reprint of
Pocock’s 1819 pattern book of Church designs is a window into the
life of the Church of England before the Oxford Movement – it is a
collection of preaching boxes, the key design consideration is to
maximise the audibility of the preacher in their pulpit to a varying
size of congregation (with a choice of neoclassical or gothick
facades) – how far the Church as travelled in terms of liturgical
practice, and even in terms of understanding of design and dynamics
of space and place. .
