: In his letter Shaw, 'having been recently engaged in the design of a Church proposed to be built under the direction of Her Majesty's Commissioners' (p.7), recommends Romanesque as the most practical style and produces estimates to demonstrate its relative cheapness. Shaw had just completed Holy Trinity Church, Gough Square, in this style and continued with Christ Church in Stepney and St Peter's in Walthamstow, but is better known for his later 'Renaissance' style (see Colvin).
