Aspect

Plans and elevations of doors. The bottom left-hand plan shows the arrangement of double doors and where they are connected in the middle, and with studs sticking out from the front. The three plans to the right-hand side of this follow the same pattern with minor variations, and the varying widths are all designed to align with each of the doors shown in the elevation above

The elevations show the designs for four sets of panelled, double doors intended for different locations within the church. On the left-hand side there is a 10-panel double door, with three sets of half-sized panels. The stiles, rails and mullions are interspersed with round studs, and the door is topped by a cornice. Beside this, are double doors which are the largest in dimensions and have 28 panels with three sets of paired half-sized panels, with studs and the door is topped by a cornice. Beside this, there are double doors with 24 panels with two sets of paired half-sized panels.

Sir John Soane's collection includes some 30,000 architectural, design and topographical drawings which is a very important resource for scholars worldwide. His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger. These drawings sit side by side with 9,000 drawings in Soane’s own hand or those of the pupils in his office, covering his early work as a student, his time in Italy and the drawings produced in the course of his architectural practice from 1780 until the 1830s.

Browse (via the vertical menu to the left) and search results for Drawings include a mixture of Concise catalogue records – drawn from an outline list of the collection – and fuller records where drawings have been catalogued in more detail (an ongoing process).
