In 1894 Bernard Smith (Old Boy, 1860) produced a master plan using and extending the Hansoms’ work. Only the present Monastery (modified) was actually built (1898): the present South Wing was added by Scott on Smith’s foundations.
Smith’s planned spire was over twice as high as the present tower: 85m (280 ft) instead of 40m
