Robert and James Adam office drawings
- Country houses
  - Burghley House, Lincolnshire: designs for the interior of the house, partly executed, and unexecuted designs for a boathouse and gateway for the 9th Earl of Exeter, 1765-79 (16)
    - Designs for the interior decoration of the house, including the library, north hall, great staircase and an organ case (6)

Survey of the north hall, 1765 (1)

This survey of the north hall shows the bare walls of the room without any decorative additions. This would suggest that more extensive work on the room was intended but the only surviving Adam feature of the room is the ceiling.
