Description: | A drawing by the architect, Thomas Graham Jackson, of the proposed church at Curdridge. The accompanying text in The Builder reads: "The new church is built of brick, with flint facings and dressings of Box-ground stone outside, and of chalk inside. It consists of a nave and chancel, with a western tower, and a vestry and organ-chamber with a heating-vault below it on the north side of the chancel." It had no aisle. The general contractor was George Dobson of Colchester. The church replaced one built earlier in the century in 'Carpenter's Gothic' style.
To a modern observer, David Lloyd, it is a basically simple church, but with too much fussy detail.
T G Jackson was a pupil of George Gilbert Scott. He did many ecclesiastical restorations and remodellings, including the underpinning of Winchester Cathedral, in a style he called English Renaissance.
