Notes

Dance has added a detached shed for each cottage as well as pencilling in chimneys to the ovens. As built, the single pitch roofs of the lean-to are 45 not 60 degrees as shown and the front door was moved to the side and replaced by a window.

The four by four pane windows shown in the drawing became five or six (ground floor) and four by six (upper floor).

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.
