 The tower has another familiar feature, a projecting circular stair-turret to its east side which is capped by its own small curved roof.The powerful and brooding red brick tower Christian provided for his Holy Trinity Church, Dalston (1878–79), in the London Borough of Hackney, is set high over the crossing and is reminiscent of the work of his late friend Samuel Sanders Teulon (1812–73) with its solid massing of parts and its projecting stair-turret capped by a conical roof.His red brick lancet style is also shown to good effect in the little churches Christian built for new villages around The Wash in Lincolnshire, particularly at Holbeach St Marks and Christ Church at Gedney Dawsmere, both completed in 1869.
