CUARLLS FREDERIC INWOOD, second eon of William Inwood, born November 28th 1798, besides assisting his father in his works, was the architect of tho church of All Saints at Great Marlow, in Bucklug which was completed in 1835. Ile also built the St. Pancras National School in Southampton Street, Eustou Square, a large plain brick building of little architectural pretension. 11e died in May 1840, aged forty-two.
St. I'aucras Church, New Road, London, which was the conjoint work of William Inwood and his son Henry, is in its kind unique smoag the churches of the metropolis. The building was commenced July 1st 1819, was completed May 7th 1822, and cost 70,7691. The exterior of the body of the church is, with certain necessary deviations, en imitation of the Joule temple called tho Erectheiou on the Acropolis et Athens; the tower is an adaptation from the building commouly called the Tower of the Winds also at Athens, which is properly the Horologium, or water-clock, of Aadronicue Cyrrheates. The measure ments and drawings of these buildings were made by Henry Inwood on the spot. The eeruicirenlarapeis at the east end of the church sup plies the place of the straight west wall of the Pandrosion, or temple of Pandrosos, which adjoined the Erectheion at the west end. The two covered buildinga which project from each side of the east end, forming the entrances to the catacombs of the church, aro adaptations from the south portico of the Pandrosion. Tho caryatid figures, of which there were six, four in front and one at each side, were in the place of columns, and supported the pediment of tho south portico of the Pandrosion ; the opposite north portico had columns. There is one of the original caryatid figures in the Elgin bloom of the British Museum. The sarcophagus beneath each roof indicates the purpose for which the projecting buildings have been constructed. The two
lonio half-columns engaged in the walls, on both aides of tho west end, are additions made to form an apparent basis for the tower. The windows are adaptations modelled in accordance with the form of the doors. Grecian temples had no windows; large temples had a central portion of the roof open to the sky ; small temples generally received light only from the door, which was wide and lofty. The octagonal tower, with its two ranges of eight columns each, in its form and general effect combines well with the building and portico, and is in itself a beautiful object. In the interior the galleries are supported by elegant slender columns. The ceiling is flat, and formed into a number. of ornamented panels.
The Westminster Hospital, near the west end of Westminster Abbey, was built by William Inwood in conjunction with his son Charles. It was begun in 1832, completed in 1534, and cost 27,500/. The archi tecture is Tudor Gothic, the material is gray Suffolk brick, with stone faciugs. It is quite plain, except the front and the truncated angles which connect the front with the two encle. The front extends about 200 feet in length, and is 72 feet high in the centre, which projecta slightly, and is a story higher than the two wings. There are in all 260 windows. The brick harinouises well with the stone portico and dressings, and the general appearance of the front is very handsome. The interior arrangements and ventilation aro excellent.
William Inwood also built the Regent Square Chapel, opened in 1826; the Camden Town Chapel, opened in 1624 ; and Somers Chapel, in Seymour Street, opened iu 1826—all of which are chapels of ease to St. Pancras Church. lie also built numerous other structures, mansions, villas, barracks, warehouses, &e.
