| | St John the Evangelist - Newbury, Berkshire - Dykes Bower Churches |
 | | The other church, Saint James was rebuilt in the early 16th century, to the designs of John Wastell, who designed the Bell Harry Tower at Canterbury Cathedral, the fan vault of Kings College chapel, and the churches at Saffron Walden and Lavenham. |
 | | The exterior was, however a very different case, for not only did the cathedral lack its essential vestries, but more visibly, it was left without the central tower and spire which the architect had intended to rise from the crossing. |
 | | A Millennium Appeal was launched to raise funds for the completion of these parts of the cathedral, fuelled by the legacy by Dykes Bower of £1.8 million to the church when he died. |
