St Pauls Church, Cobbitty
Building began in 1840 and was completed in 1842. The work of John Bibb alone, as Verge retired from the practice in 1837. It is Bibb's only known Gothic church design, and relates closely to provincial English 'Commissioners' Gothic' churches. Cobbitty has the customary Church Act central west tower, but this is attached to a Latin cross plan of nave, transepts, and a shallow east end - originally closed off from the rest of the church and used as a vestry.
