St John’s Episcopal Church, Edinburgh
St John's Episcopal Church, at the west end of Princes Street Gardens, was completed in 1818 at a cost of £18,000. Designed by William Burn, it has a splendid interior modelled on St George's Chapel, Windsor.
The tall arcades of the nave have clustered shafts, each topped by a projecting figure of Mary Magdalene, and a fan-vaulted ceiling in plaster. The pews, by Peddie and Kinnear, date from 1867.
In the chancel of the church is a memorial to Dean Edward Ramsay (1793-1872), minister of St John's for 44 years. A respected philanthropist, his humorous book 'Reminiscences of Scottish Life and Character' was enormously popular. This photograph was taken in 1920s by Alexander Inglis.
