Notes

The drawing shows a two-storey building, 68 feet long, with double-height kitchen in the centre lit by three tall semicircular-headed windows with a single-storey larder and scullery either side with rooms over reached by stairs at each end; the hipped roof is of Copper and Slate. This design relates to the plans on [SM D1/1/14] and [SM D1/1/22] where a detached kitchen is shown opposite and towards the rear of the west wing. There are no National Monuments Record photographs of the chapel-like kitchen but, considering Carter's small interventions such as the addition of door swings, it seems very likely that the kitchen was built to this design.

The memorandum relates to the survey site plan of East Stratton chapel dated 10 April 1807 ([SM D1/6/4]).

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).
