NOTES: The main body of the Church of All Saints, Weston-Super-Mare was designed by George Bodley and built between 1898 and 1902. The south aisle and Lady Chapel were built by F.C. Eden in 1925.
NOTES: This design is one of a number of drawings bound into five volumes entitled 'Architectural works of George Wightwick', made between 1832 and 1850. Wightwick instructed his articled pupils to make this detailed set of retrospective drawings to illustrate every building of importance he had designed. The drawings were intended to serve both as a record of Wightwick's completed buildings and as a method of conveying to his students the design process from initial working design to finished structure.
