Each of these gentlemen was good enough to submit a set
of drawings. No premium was offered, but a stipulation was
made that if any of the designs was selected by the Vestry
the author thereof should be appointed architect to carry out
the work at the usual rate of remuneration. The drawings
were submitted to J.T. Wimperis Esq. and D. Cubitt
Nichols Esq., who generously undertook the office of honorary
professional advisers to the Vestry. These gentlemen
awarded the place of honour to the design of Mr. Collins, as
best fulfilling the conditions and meeting the requirements of
the Vestry, and the Special Committee of the Vestry concurring
in this view, Mr. Collins's designs were adopted, subject
to one or two minor alterations in detail.
Mr. Collins was appointed Architect in accordance with
the understanding upon which designs were invited, and a
very hearty vote of thanks was accorded to each of the other
three gentlemen in recognition of the public spirit which
prompted them to submit designs to the Vestry. A Quantity
Surveyor has been appointed, and a number of firms have
been invited to tender for carrying out the work.
