1913 NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY, JULY 17, ST. PAUL’S CHURCH HAS BEEN COMPLETED Willimantic Structure of the Tudor Type of Architecture. (Special to The Bulletin.) Willimantic, July 16—The new build- ing of St. Paul's church, is of a type more often seen abroad than in this country—an excellent example of a familiar style of English villige church architecture. It is gothic, high iIn proportion to its width, with. pointed arches; and everything has been plan- red to give it the dignity that comes from real simplicity. The exterior is of a local grey stone, relieved by light- er finishings of cement, or artificial stone. The lines are long and low; and the heavy West tower rises hardly at all above the ridgepole of the nave, af- ter the manner that one sees so often in those ivy-covered churches of the Tudor time whose beauty is famous in the English country side. As you pass through the stone paved vestibule, and enter the church it ap- pears much larger than it did from the outside. Soft, golden light, coming through high windows of opal glass, falls on grey walls, and is broken by the shadows of grey stone arches that separate the nave from the sle upon your right. The wood-work and the furnishings are of dark wood; and the only touch of colour is a high dossal of dull, rich red, rising above and behind the altar. The building is, in a strict sense, very churchly. That £ verything about it proclaims that it is a church, and what kind of a church it is. The large wooden cross under a canopy be- tween the louvres of the belfry, is a sort of sign-board; and the great pro- minence of the altar, raised high upon many steps, in a spacious sanctuary, emphasized by colour and a flood of sunshine and the lines of the build- ing itself, prociaimse the spirit of the place unmistakably, as one devoted to the sacramental worship of Christ. The architects were Stephenson & Wheeler, of New York; and the build- ers, Lathem & Crane, of Willimantic.
