NOTES: A small house was first designed for John George Fuller on land he purchased in 1819 at the top of Brixton Hill but even as it was under construction a larger one was designed communicating with the first which then became offices for the newer house. J. B. Papworth provided designs for the estate up until his death. The house was demolished in 1908.
Designs for additions to and interior design of a house and for the outbuildings and farm, Fyfield, Essex, for George Dorrien Esq.: plan with elevations laid out for the interior decoration of the small drawing room
RIBA83183
NOTES: The house cannot be identified. The drawings do not relate to Fyfield Hall, a medieval building, nor apparently to Fyfield House. In 'The Family topographer' (London: J. B. Nichols & Son, 1832), amongst the seats of gentry listed in Essex, George Dorrien is listed at Witney Green, Fyfield. There is an early 19th century Grade II listed farmhouse, Witney Green Farmhouse, Willingdale Road, Fyfield, which perhaps might relate to these drawings.

Thomas Seddon, furniture designer and maker, provided several designs for Papworth at Basildon Park.
