Drawings of the exterior by JM Gandy, August and September 1798 (4)
Notes
Drawings 163 to 165 show the entrance hall with the house obscured behind a dense foliage of plantings; probably the artist's attempt to hide the incongruous facade. Drawing 166, an unfinished perspective dating from September 1798, shows a Doric portico on the front of the entrance hall.
The existing entrance hall at Bentley Priory has a porte-cochère similar to Soane's earlier drawings for the hall (drawing 138).
