021 | Besides the parish church, there is an Episcopal church, erected in 1850, on ground granted by Mr. Russell of Aden, who, with Mrs. Russell, was otherwise a large contributor to the building. It is in the early English style, beautiful in its general features, and, on the whole, correct in the details. It consists of a nave and Chancel, and is entered by a porch on the north side. The bell-turret is deserving of attention as a successful example of that part of a church which seems to be the crux of ecclesiastical architects. The bell, which is of good tone, bears the following inscription:- DEO ET S. DROSTANO ABB. ET CONFES. MDCCCLI [1851] (over) [Continued on page 90] |
