Purpose

Presentation drawings of an alternative stables design, one dated 18 December 1792 (3)

Notes

The drawings show a stables design in plan and perspective. Drawing 16 is a perspective with some buildings omitted (indicated in dotted lines) so as to reveal the back elevation of the stables court. The building has the same layout as Soane's earlier stables at Lees Court and Skelton Castle (q.v.), having a towered gateway, single-storey side ranges and a two-storey building at the rear of the stables court containing a long ride with stores overhead.

Drawing 15 was probably among those sent to the client on 21 December 1792 (see drawings 13 and 14) along with designs for making alterations to the house (Daybook 1792).
