| Description: | All Souls was Richard Hunt's last creation and is the only Hunt church to still be in use and intact today. Powerfully composed and beautifully detailed, the foundation of the church follows the short-nave, Greek cross rather then the usual, long-nave, Latin cross. The compact edifice features a square tower rising at the crossing, transepts, a boldly curving apse, pebbledash wall surfaces, brick and wood trim and expansive tile roofs. |
