NYFE Summary
Pews here were available without the rents charged by many churches. The Sisters’ House became a home for an Anglican sisterhood and the starting point of St. Luke’s Hospital.
Rough stone walls, pointed windows and steep roofs tie the buildings together. The church’s square tower stands beside smaller gables and the Sisters’ House, giving each part of the group a separate outline.
