NYFE Summary
A fire partly destroyed the church in 1865. It was rebuilt to the original plan and reopened two years later. The towers’ stone spires were later judged unsafe and removed in 1889.
Three arched entrances and a rose window stand between the towers. Along the side, heavy buttresses separate the windows, and rows of small arches run beneath the roof.
