Yorke Place / Design for Ten Houses & Gardens for Philip Yorke Esqr, 6 September 1784 (1)
Notes
This is perhaps a copy of the drawing sent to Mr Yorke on 6 September 1784 (SM SNB 1). On 1 October, Soane went to Hammels and staked out the cottages (SM SNB 1) but nothing further came of the scheme.
See also Saxlingham Rectory, Norfolk for a plan on the verso of drawing 14 (28/1/20 verso) that may be related to this scheme.
