Notes
This design is for a simple, reeded, marble chimneypiece for the Eating Room. It may be a copy of an earlier drawing, seeing as it is dated 'Augst 31 1802', which was after Soane had dined at Norwood (P. Guillery, op. cit., pp. 186-7). The memorandum at the bottom of the sheet provides evidence that Soane reused his designs.
On the verso of the sheet is a discarded design for alterations to Cricket Lodge, Cricket St Thomas, Somerset, for Lord Bridport. The drawing is inscribed 'Useless' across the elevation.
