caryatid

One of the four caryatids on the south tribune of St Pancras New Church, Euston. Along with a matching tribune on the north side, this was modelled on the Erechtheum, a temple on the Acropolis in Athens.

 

The church tower, seen in the background, was modelled on Athens' Tower of the Winds.

 

The church was designed in a Greek revival style by father-and-son architects William and Henry Inwood, and was consecrated in 1822.
