Notes

From the concise catalogue: "The glass was purchased by Soane on 22 May 1802 at a sale held by a Mr Farebrother. Soane paid £3.17.0 for it. It was bought on behalf of a client, Mrs Brocas, for the Brocas chapel in St. James' Church at Bramley in Hampshire. The drawing indicates that the glass was in Soane's possession for a period before the panel was glazed into the chapel window.

"Purchased by the Museum 2008 from Abbott and Holder and funded by a donation from Tony Dorey OBE and Mrs Margaret Dorey."

Pevsner adds that many of the stained glass panels in the south window are early sixteenth-century Netherlandish in origin (Pevsner, p. 192).

Sir John Soane's collection includes some 30,000 architectural, design and topographical drawings which is a very important resource for scholars worldwide. His was the first architect’s collection to attempt to preserve the best in design for the architectural profession in the future, and it did so by assembling as exemplars surviving drawings by great Renaissance masters and by the leading architects in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries and his near contemporaries such as Sir William Chambers, Robert Adam and George Dance the Younger. These drawings sit side by side with 9,000 drawings in Soane’s own hand or those of the pupils in his office, covering his early work as a student, his time in Italy and the drawings produced in the course of his architectural practice from 1780 until the 1830s.
