Chelsea new congregational church, Markham-Square, 1860. Creator: Unknown.

Chelsea new congregational church, Markham-Square, 1860. 'This chapel, built by the congregation of the Rev. J. Clifford Hooper, has been recently opened for public worship, and is the only place of worship for the Independent body in Chelsea...The form of the building is slightly cruciform, having transepts projecting about five feet from the body of the chapel. The prominent feature of the exterior is a tower and spire rising from the west side of the southern transept to the height of 138 feet. The proportions are well conceived and the effect good. The style of the building is in the second period of the Gothic; and as regards the general design, as well as the execution, is considered to be superior to any chapel of the kind belonging to the Congregationalists in the metropolis. The chapel will accommodate 1150 adults, and there are lofty and extensive school rooms calculated to seat 820 children. The building has been erected from a design by John Tarring, Esq., of Bucklersbury, and the contractors were Messrs. Myers, of Lambeth, to all of whom great praise is due for the beauty of the conception and the stability of the structure'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
