The Prose Works of William Wordsworth

PART III
110/791

[IX.] After thanking in prose Lady Fleming for the service she had done to her neighbourhood by erecting this Chapel, I have nothing to say beyond the expression of regret that the architect did not furnish an elevation better suited to the site in a narrow mountain pass, and what is of more consequence, better constructed in the interior for the purposes of worship.

It has no chancel.

The Altar is unbecomingly confined.

The Pews are so narrow as to preclude the possibility of kneeling.

There is no vestry, and what ought to have been first mentioned, the Font, instead of standing at its proper place at the entrance, is thrust into the farthest end of a little pew.
