Notes

The overall internal dimensions of the chapel with a single aisle are 68 feet 3 inches by 24 feet 3 inches, the chancel being 16 feet 2 1/2 inches wide. It is a minimal Gothic style with Y-tracery windows. Dance's rough north elevation clothes it with buttresses and taller windows and adds a west tower while faint rough amendments to the chancel plan indicate a remodelling that includes a domed? ceiling. A faint pencil sketch plan of a centrally planned church related to Design A suggests the identification of Dance's alternative designs for an octagonal church with the East Stratton chapel site.

This drawing is affixed to [SM D1/6/1] for Micheldever Church.

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).
