It collapsed in a storm in 1847, because the mortar used for the cement was made from beach sand, which did not bond properly. It was replaced in 1857 with St Stephen's Chapel, a wooden cruciform church, still in use. Quantity: 1 drawing(s) in sketchbook.. Physical Description: Pen and ink, 70 x 110 mm
