St Peter's Church, Great Windmill Street

The church was designed by Raphael Brandon, for a small site on the east side of Great Windmill Street, externally only the west front being seen by the public.

Since it was a poor district, funds for the site and for the building came from elsewhere, and the largest single contributor was the 14th Earl of Derby.

The foundation stone was laid by the Earl of Derby on the 25 June 1860, and the completed church was consecrated on 12 July 1861.

Lavers and Barraud provided glass for the east windows of the aisles.

[1] The building measured 100 by 50 feet (30 by 15 m): it was built of brick and faced inside and out with Bath stone.
