St. George's Bloomsbury, London
By Colin Amery and Gavin Stamp
This fascinating book tells the story of the creation of Nicholas Hawksmoor's celebrated eighteenth-century church and its recent multimillion-dollar restoration, underwritten by the WMF Britain and the Paul Mellon Fund for the Architectural Heritage of Great Britain. Commissioned by Parliament in 1711 and completed in 1731, the church is best known from its depiction in Hogarth's 1751 engraving, Gin Lane, and has been hailed as a masterpiece of Late Baroque architecture.
