Notes
This appears to be a record copy to a reduced scale made in 1807 from the 1795 drawing [1] q.v.
On the verso of the drawing catalogued here, there is an incomplete elevation drawn on a half sheet of paper that shows half of a five-bay, three storey house in a villa style. A pair of Ionic columns on pedestals each support a sculpted figure; the entrance has a similar column supporting an urn. Re-used for the survey plan of North Mymms, this is an early variant design for Soane's Pitzhanger Manor, Ealing London (q.v.) and relates to alternative design E.
