Notes

Each plot is marked 45.0 feet wide and is about six times as long. At the road end, on the boundary line between each pair of cottages is a well, nine in all. The garden plan shows the back (vegetable) garden laid out as a grid of eight rectangles divided by paths with a less symmetrically arranged front garden. A rough alternative layout has a close opening off the village street with two pairs of houses facing each other on either side.

Five of the nine double cottages were built to the finished plan shown here though the spaces in between were reduced.

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.
