Signed and dated

  • 8 December, 1807
    Decr. 8th: 1807. There are two different hands, one uses pen, and the other pencil. The proposed Tyringham project had finished by 1801 at the latest, and the pen may be an addition done in 1807 for placement in a volume. The plan conforms to those seen in late 1800 and should be placed at that time
  • 1800
    The drawing and pencil inscription is probably from that date, with pen additions added in 1807
  • November to December 1800
    This is the probable date for the actual drawing
