Notes
Mr Simond's house with two-storey domestic offices at the rear had the brewery storehouse on one side and behind it - across a yard - the brewhouse itself. The brewhouse corresponds with the design shown on drawing 2 while the store house corresponds with drawing 9, dated 31December 1802
On the opposite page of the album in which this drawing is mounted is a perspective of an unexecuted 'Villa in Cheshire / for The Honble Wilbraham Tollemache' published in Soane's Plans, elevations and sections of houses, lodges, bridges etc in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Hertfordshire et cetera', 1788 (plates 39-40). Made by the same hand as drawings 4 and 5, the front elevation is close to that of drawing 5 though with two storeys instead of three. Another example of Soane's re-use of the composition and window details for the front of Saxlingham Rectory, 1784 (q.v.)
