Purpose
[107] Design for a Doric column at Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone, London, January 1826
Aspect
Plan and elevations of a Doric column. The plan on the bottom right-hand side of the sheet shows the interior masonry of the column. Wrapped around it are three annulets, the large circle surrounding these elements is the echinus, and they are set within a square representing the abacus. The elevation detail above shows the top of the column with the necking groove above the shaft, then three annulets, the echinus and across the top the abacus with a smaller cushion plinth. On the left-hand side there is an elevation showing a square base beneath the floor level, and above is the column which is topped by a capital, identical to the detail elevation. Red pen is used for centring
