Talk:St Mark's Church, Royal Tunbridge Wells

Acrobatic gothic
When it was built, Building News referred to the church's design as "acrobatic gothic" due to Roumieu being given freedom to design.[3]

This doesn't follow. The fact that they called it "acrobatic gothic" is not due to the fact that the architect was given freedom in the design. The architect, exercising freedom, might have chosen to turn out a very restrained and low-key building that no-one could call"acrobatic.

The style, and the way that Building News described it is the result of the architect's choices, not the result of the fact he was given freedom.

So, you might be able to say: "When it was completed, Building News referred to the church as "acrobatic gothic" due to Roumieu exercising freedom in the design.[3]"

This implies, not the the Duke gave him freedom, but that he interpreted the Gothic style in a very free manner.
