NOTES: This drawing is by an unidentified 17th century English architect. The original mews on this site housed the king's hawks from 1377 until a fire destroyed the building in 1534. Stables were then built here but they were still called the Royal Mews. The Mews were demolished in 1830 to make way for the construction of Trafalgar Square.
NOTES: This drawing is by an unidentified late 18th-early 19th century 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, on the evidence of the inscription on the verso, is a copy of a design for stable fittings made by Wyatt for Lord Hertford. Wyatt was employed by the 1st Marquess of Hertford making alterations and additions at Ragley Hall between 1779-1797. These included the construction of the north court and remodelled central block of the stables (circa 1780)
