November 1, 1809 · Hand-colored etching and aquatint · Drawings and Prints

St. Stephen's Walbrook stands near Mansion House in the City of London, was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and opened in 1679, after the 15th century church on the site was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. Within a rectangular plan, twelve corinthian columns support a high dome based onthat in St. Paul's Cathedral. Rowlandson and Pugin show a service in progress with figures in box pews listening to a minister in a pulpit to the right of the altar.
