Purpose
Preliminary designs and designs for a first scheme for a house, c1784, unexecuted (7)
Notes
The first scheme was intended for an alternative site to the second and the executed third scheme. Due to the steep sloping ground the rear front is only two stories in height. Turton felt that this scheme, along with the second, was far too elaborate. Surviving correspondence underlines the Doctor’s intentions not to spend more than £5000 on the project.
