Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scenes of Clerical Life Shepperton Church was a very different-looking building five-and-twenty years ago. To be sure, its substantial stone tower looks at you through its intelligent eye, the clock, with the friendly expression of former days; but in everything else what changes! Now there is a wide span of slated roof flanking the old steeple; the windows are tall and symmetrical; the outer doors are resplendent with oak-graining, the inner doors reverentially noiseless with a garment of red baize; and the walls, you are convinced, no lichen will ever again effect a settlement on, - they are smooth and innutrient as the summit of the Rev. Amos Barton´s head, after ten years of baldness and supererogatory soap. Pass through the baize doors and you will see the nave filled with well-shaped benches understood to be free seats; while in certain eligible corners, less directly under the fire of the clergyman´s eye, there are pews reserved for the Shepperton gentility.
