The Restoration Of Handsworth Parish Church.
B 3 nted lately only a few of its original features—the east window of the chancel , the south wall , the south aisle arches and windows , and the west windows of tho north and south aisles , being the only original portions remaining in situ . The ceiling was of plaster , in imitation of a vaulted roof , supported by slender stone columns , Avhile the Wyrley chapel is supported by a cast-iron column at
its south-west angle . The windows of tho west end , tho new transept , and the transept itself , were of Modern Gothic . Apart , however , from architectural or archaeological characteristics , the church is tho source of considerable interest from having been the place where many local worthies and several celebrated men have been buried . In this church were buried James
Watt and Matthew Boulton . Murdoch also found his last restingplace there , and there many other notabilities of their time , including the Wyrloys and the Whateleys were " gathered to thoir fathers . " A chapel was built to receive a statue of Watt , which was executed by Chantrey ; and , amongst many others , are monuments to the Wyrleys , Boultons , Murdochs and Whateleys . Notably there was
a fine bust of Matthew Boulton , by Flaxman . In the restoration of the church the portions of the old structure intended to bo pulled down are thoso Avhich Avere erected in the beginning of this century ; the Watt chapel will not bo touched , and the east elevation of the chancel and Wyrley Chapel will not be interfered Avith . The old windows in the sonth aisle will be restored and the wall taken doAvn
and rebuilt , it being considerably out of the perpendicular . The church will bo extended 23 ft . westward , and the nave will be 23 ft . 3 in . wide by 89 ft . Gin . long ; chancel 25 ft . long . Thero will be two north aisles 81 ft ., with the Wyrley chapel in addition . A south aisle 65 ft . long , at the east end of which it is proposed to put an opening into the tower . The old tower arch will be restored , so that the present
vestry can be available for seats . It is proposed to place the Stamford monument , now in the south aisle , between tho choir seats of the chancel and the Wyrley chapel . Tho Wyrley chapel monuments will have a moulded canopy over them . Tho new portions of the church ; inside and out , will bo faced with Codsall stone . Tho arcades to the nave and north aisles will havo six arches each , and
the sonth aisle arcado four arches . The roof will be of red deal and boarded ; the principals arched , and springing from carved corbels , and there will be no plastering of any kind . It is proposed to cover the whole area of the church with a bed of concrete , on which will bo laid wood blocks instead of boarding , the passages being laid with tiles . A portion of the north transept will bo converted into choir and clergyman ' s vestries and organ chamber . Tho church , Avhen
finished , will accommodate 1 , 000 persons , in open seats , without galleries . Several stained glass windows havo been promised . Messrs . Wilson and Son , of Soho Hill , aro tho builders , Mr . J . A . Chatwin is tho architect , and Mr . J . Jones is the clerk of the Avorks The cost of the work has been estimated at between £ 7 , 000 and £ 8 , 000 , and before the proceedings yesterday £ 4 , 300 had been promised towards that amount .
