NOTES; These almshouses are on the western side of the churchyard of St Helen. Long Alley is the oldest almshouse, erected in 1446. The central porch was added in 1605 and the lantern over the Hall in 1707.
NOTES: These almshouses and school were demolished in 1892-1893 when the school moved to new premises in Wandsworth. This is number 113 in the photographic series issued by The Society for Photographing Relics of Old London.
NOTES: Ae-whylme is Anglo-Saxon for 'waters whelming' and the village dreives its name from a spring which empties into a rapid stream known as Ewelme Brook. The almhouses were established in 1437 by Alice de la Pole, Duchess of Suffolk.

NOTES: Part of the Burlington Devonshire Collection, this design was included in engraved form in William Kent's publication 'Designs of Inigo Jones, II' (1727). This design was not wholly erected for although the main block was built in around 1734, it was considerably modified.

NOTES: Part of the Burlington Devonshire Collection, this design was not wholly erected for although the main block was built in around 1734, it was considerably modified. In this design the cente block has an oval central staircase larger than in the executed design and the wings, each containing six dormitories, smaller.
NOTES: Luytens was proposing the 13th century almshouses of St Mary's, Chichester, as the model to follow to his client, Sir Frederick Mirrielees, for Goddards which was first designed as a holiday home for poor and deserving ladies. Goddards was extended and converted into a family home by Lutyens in 1910.
NOTES: This sketch is one of a number of preliminary studies of English Baroque architecture made by Charles Cockerell in preparation for his watercolour composition 'A Tribute to Sir Christopher Wren' (1838). It was formerly part of an album of drawings entitled 'Ichnographia Publica', compiled by Cockerell from 1825 as a private 'scrapbook' containing his measured drawings, notes and studies relating to the architecture of public buildings. The bracketed numbers which accompany many of the sketches refer to the numbered 'key' to the engraved version of 'A Tribute to Sir Christopher Wren'. Formerly attributed to Wren, Morden college is now believed to have been built by his master mason, Edward Strong.
