Gothic is best

From Anthony Jennings Sir: Quinlan Terry (Letters, 30 September) is right to observe that, despite the widespread loss of conviction in the Church, there are pockets of Christianity that have not lost their evangelicalism. Why then does his architecture not take its cue from our Christian culture? Instead of his alien and polytheistic classicism, he should practise in the Gothic style, which is the true architecture of England, as the Victorians so well understood.
