Notes
'Mr Jernegam', elsewhere spelt 'Jernegan', is recorded in the Royal College of Surgeons Building Committee Minutes (18 May 1811) as charging £245.6.4 for measuring the works, and a George Jernegan measured the work done for repairing the party wall to Mr Ord's house at 43 Lincoln's Inn Fields on 5 January 1812 (SM, Priv.Corr.xv.j.1). Colvin gives a George Jernegan or Jernigham (sic) (c.1760-1815) who was elected a member of the Surveyors' Club in 1805 and died in 1815 age 55.
The flower with joined petals and an inner cup with six stamens is almost 7 inches in diameter.
