Gothic Revival: Variety of Materials

NOTES: This photograph was taken between 1865 and 1885.

NOTES: Holy Trinity is the oldest Anglican cathedral in China. Known as the 'Red Church' from its brick construction it was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. Its construction was supervised by William Kidner, from Scott's office, who modified the design during construction to reduce costs and seat more worshippers. Following many years of secular use, the church has undergone a major restoration and returned to its original use.
