The population of the district attached to the Parish Church is about 7500. The accommodation of the present church is nominally 1600, and this was the number which the competing architects were directed to provide for in their plans. The actual accommodation of the church is, however, very much below this figure, and I do not believe that it ever really seats more than from 1200 to 1300. Such a number at any rate is amply sufficient for the needs of the district, and this number could easily be provided for by the plan of extension which I have suggested, without any galleries whatever. I need scarcely insist upon the great advantage to the proportions of the building and to the comfort of the congregation, which would be secured by the removal of all the galleries. Such a scheme as I have indicated may be carried out thoroughly well for the sum which the Trustees have at their disposal, and there would still be a margin left for such decorations and improvements as are needed in the body of the existing church. Should funds be unexpectedly forthcoming for the erection of a really handsome tower, no finer position could be desired, than the centre of the west front of the addition which I have proposed. The fall of the ground would give extraordinary dignity to a tower so placed. It would have a most striking effect from Frognal, and the view of it on approaching Hampstead from the west, seen, as it would be, in conjunction with the existing eastern tower, would be something quite unusually fine. Anyone possessing the sense of architectural effect, will see at once the great dignity and picturesqueness of such a group. A tower worthy of such a position is no doubt beyond the means of the Trustees, but it would afford a fine opportunity for the private munificence of some one or more of our wealthy parishioners. If precedents be desired for such an arrangement of two towers, they will be found in Ely Cathedral, at Swaffham, and at Fakenham. I may add that the organ would be placed in one of the aisles immediately behind the choir seats. This plan it will be observed utilises the _whole_ of the existing building, whereas that which has received the approval of the Trustees retains little of it beside the modern western transept.
