Description: All Saints Church, Margaret Street, W1 - baptistry tiling, near to Marylebone, Westminster, Great Britain. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1528965">TQ2981 : All Saints Church, Margaret Street, W1</a>. "The designs that adorn the walls and pillars owe much to Ruskin who, in The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849), advocated the use of chequers, zig-zags, stripes and geometrical colour mosaic. Matthew Digby Wyatt's Specimans of Geometrical Mosaic of the Middle Ages may also have influenced some of the detailing. However, both of these favoured stone and marble, rather than tile, making the interior patterning of All Saints very much Butterfield's own work. Ruskin, in fact, did not 'altogether like the arrangements of colour in the brickwork.'" - see <a title="http://www.allsaintsmargaretstreet.org.uk/history2.htm" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.allsaintsmargaretstreet.org.uk/history2.htm">Link</a><img style="padding-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="http://s0.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/>.
