Interior of Old St Martin's Church looking east

The broad interior of Anthony Keck's rebuilt church, like that designed by James Gibbs a few decades earlier for St Martin in the Fields, London, contrasts vaulted aisles supported by plain Ionic columns with a flat ceiling in the central nave. Keck must have been inspired by Gibbs. Between 1855 and 1862 William Jeffrey Hopkins restored the interior and added the Gothic tracery to the east window. The high altar is of French design. In this view we see the cross and statues veiled for Passiontide.
