It has been suggested, and not without good reason, that a foreign influence was at work in the designing of this building. The foliage, throughout the church, is of a... most thoughtful character, with here and there a touch, more or less, of nature, reminding us of sculptured ferns and water-plants, and possessing the endless variety of Romanesque, com- bined with the charming simplicity of Early English carving.
