Christ Church New Street

This painting (artist unknown) portrays the interior of Christ Church as fairly spartan. The pews and decor seem particularly simple. Yet there are numerous lights all around the church. Are there 3 levels to the lectern ? Overall it shows a very different interior to how I would have imagined it- more like a chapel. Viv.

The different levels were for the rich and poor - class separation. Then later by men and women

A slightly clearer picture with a date…”The demolition of Christ Church started January 1899: the last few loads”

Nice to see a view , albeit an engraving - showing people making their way into the church in a very orderly fashion. This looks like a line of young ladies. I wondered if the ladies were supposed to represent those from Ann Street School ? Viv.
