Purpose

Alternative preliminary design, and finished drawings and a record drawing for the house, 1762, as executed (8)

Notes

Adam volume 54/7/114 is an interesting preliminary design which appears to represent a half-way stage between the rejected designs for the house (Adam volumes 21/232, 21/233, 41/96-41/101), and the executed designs (Adam volumes 41/102-41/108). The fabric of the house was begun in 1762 by Sir Wyndham Knatchbull-Wyndham, but he died the following year, and the house, and its interior were brought to completion by Sir Wyndham's heir, his uncle, Sir Edward Knatchbull.
