Farm buildings

NOTES: At this time the house and farm buildings designed by John Buonarotti Papworth were being erected.

NOTES: The drawing is by an unidentified late 18th-early 19th century English draughtsman. It was amongst a series of working drawings by James Wyatt for Thirkleby Park, North Yorkshire, and was perhaps intended to be used as a model for the erection of a similar structure at Thirkleby. This design by Porden for a handsome screen wall to disguise the piggery at Aldwark was probably executed as part of his work on the stables, dairy and farmyard of that house circa 1790.

NOTES: This drawing is part of a volume of 101 leaves containing details of interior decoration, chiefly chimneypieces and mouldings, compiled in Holland's office after 1801.

NOTES: John Webb had bought Butleigh Court and lived there from 1660 until his death in 1672. The original 16th century house had a 7-bay block added to the east by Webb or a descendant. J. C. and C. A. Buckler rebuilt the house adding into the angle of the L-shaped 'Webb' block.

NOTES: This farmyard was probably within the estate of Lansdowne House on the slopes of Richmond Hill which came into the ownership of George Townshend, 1st Earl of Leicester (6th creation) and second Marquis of Townshend in the 1790s. This drawing is from a small sketchbook serving as a record of work by Thomas Cundy between 1795 and 1820 apparently made by his son, Thomas Cundy junior, who worked in his practice and took over the practice at his father's death.
