NOTES: These drawings are part of a vellum sketchbook containing studies by Burges of Italian architecture, decoration, birds, flowers and heads. The sketches shown here include details of Burges's designs for Lord Carrington's alterations to Gayhurst House, Buckinghamshire, including a scheme showing Adam and Eve being expelled from Eden by the Archangel Michael. The panel designs to the right are sketches for the decoration of a font depicting the four ages of man, inspired by sculptures in the Ducal Palace in Venice. The completed font is at St Peter's Church in Draycott, Somerset.

NOTES: This design does not appear to have been executed.

NOTES: An Anglican parish church of c. 1786, probably by James Wyatt, the south aisle and vestry were added, and the chancel enlarged c. 1886, by W. J. Fletcher. The font is late 13th century.

NOTES: Founded as a cathedral in 1075, the building was completed in 1108. Much of the Norman stonework, arcading and the timber-roofed nave were destroyed by fire in 1187 and were rebuilt and extended in Early English style in the 13th century. The font dates from 1983 and the painting by Feibusch is c. 1951.
