Notes

Thomas Hardwick was the Clerk of Works at Hampton Court Palace from 1810 until his death in 1829. Soane recommended completing the screen and restoring the centre of the roof of the Great Hall. This drawing, made after 1821 (going by its watermark) shows that the screen was not at that point surmounted by a gallery (King's Works, VI, p. 332).
