The office Day Book entry for 17 June 1795 has Meyer and Jeans as making drawings for the 'Earl of Ailesbury'. These were two of the five pupils then serving their articles with Soane. (See introductory notes for full names and dates)

Notes

A comparison with the earlier drawing [2] shows, for example, the addition here of fireplaces with added windows to the side elevations. However, there is one window instead of two in the nursery (that has been enlarged by three feet).
