Notes
Soane was at Ramsey Abbey on 21 August 1804 and made this drawing while there. The drawing is rough but away from his office Soane used a writing pen and ink and coarse drawing paper borrowed from the clerk of works. The design makes (Soane's first ?) use of lancet windows that refer back to the early 13th century.
