Two of Soane's designs for an entrance to the west side of the house at Petworth have survived but none were executed. His designs for a prospect tower, from which to view Capability Browns' landscape work seem not have been carried out. Office records note that 'no charge ever made'.

Literature: National Trust, Petworth House, 1989; D.Stroud, Sir John Soane architect, 1996, p.274
