The Dutch Church, Austinfriars, recently restored, 1865. 'The church, or chapel, [in Austin Friars, London] formerly belonging to the monastery of Augustine Friars, which was founded in 1243...was...granted by the King, in 1530, to a congregation of Dutch or German sojourners in London, "to have their service in, for avoiding of all sects of Ana-Baptists, and such like."...It has lately undergone a complete restoration, from the designs of a young architect, Mr. William Lightly...The present fabric is the nave only of the original building...The internal walls are of chalk, and have been carefully restored; the external facing is of Kentish rag, the restoration of which has also been completed. The window-tracery, where too much decayed to be retained, has been restored with new Portland stone, and all the windows have been reglazed with plain glass, by Messrs. Powell...The tie-beams which secure the walls together form an important feature of the design...The new interior fittings are all of oak, as are also the two vestries at the ends of the north and south aisles. The general works have been carried out by Messrs. Browne and Robinson; the oak fittings, by Mr. Spawl, of Norwich; the encaustic tile paving, by Mr. Godwin, of Hereford'.

DESTRUCTION OF ST. MARY’S ROMAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL AT SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Destruction of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral at Sydney, New South Wales, 1865. Engraving of a drawing by Mr. J. Smedley, showing '...the conflagration in its most terrific aspect...The flames burst forth almost simultaneously...The roof was composed of shingles, which were quickly burnt through...as the outlines of the stately structure were vividly defined and skirted with flame, the sight was one of unsurpassed grandeur. Myriads of sparks ascended high into the air and fell in showers in the direction of Woolloomooloo Bay...From the top of the cathedral clouds of yellow flame and smoke issued, which shed a lurid lustre on all around...The reflection of the fire in the sky was visible for a distance of twenty miles at sea...the flames, like innumerable serpents of fire, hissed and crackled...The interior...was a vast furnace of fire, which glowed with intense heat; and the wind and flame roaring through the sacred pile, and the timbers crashing from above, made a noise which resembled the waves beating along the seashore as heard from afar...The cathedral, which had cost not much less, with its furniture and decorations, than £50,000, was not insured. It contained several pictures by the old masters, none of which have been saved'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
