"St Vincent St, Glasgow, is generally regarded as his finest achievement in ecclesiastical art. The Tower is particularly fine ... I consider it simply perfect, nor could wish to alter a single line of its majestic, most monumental dignity." Waddell, 1925 Images Super Lemon

"It is a purely Thomsonian structure, and it is covered all over with the peculiar ornamentation which that artist lavishes on the humblest as well as the richest of his designs." Tweed's Guide to Glasgow, 1872 © Crown Copyright: HES

“Glasgow has produced two architects of world consequence: 'Greek' Thomson, who flourished in Mid Victorian times and whose chief work is St Vincent Street Church; and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who designed Glasgow School of Art” Robert Eadie, 1938 Images: Crown Copyright: HES

"... the consciousness of reviving and carrying out a style till it reached the splendid culmination shown in Union St and St Vincent St Church, was rightly considered, a reward greater than has been vouchsafed to any other architect of this century." J Moyr Smith, 1887

"St Vincent Street Church, besides being the architect's masterpiece, is considered to be the finest specimen of Greek architecture in Great Britain." James Fleming, 1916

"One of Mr Thomson’s principal works – certainly the most magnificent example of ecclesiastical architecture in Glasgow – is the church in St Vincent Street." Thomas Gildard, 1875
