Notes
This drawing, SM 66/5/4, SM 66/5/3 and SM 66/5/7 show the same part of Wren's Hospital as SM 66/5/2 and SM 66/5/6, though they are dated later and relate to later alterations: slightly varied room allocations ('Secretary' is labelled on SM 66/5/4 of a room that was previously the Comptroller's) and some pencil additions including staircase alterations. The layout of rooms is similar in both sets of drawings.
This drawing records later alterations made to the Chaplain's apartments, just two years before Soane's death.
