Thrones

NOTES: This image was made between 1926 and 1933. This, the third Freemasons' Hall to be built in Queen Anne Street, is both the headquarters of the United Grand Lodge of England and the principal meeting place for Lodges in London. It was built in 1927-1933 as a memorial to the many Freemasons who died on active service during World War I and was initially known as the Masonic Peace Memorial.

NOTES: This project, about which almost nothing is known, probably dates from circa 1728- circa 1740.

NOTES: From the 'Large Atlas Folio: Gothic and Italian', a volume of tracings of office drawings made by James Murray during the time he worked in Barry's office, 1839-1847. This tracing is probably of a Pugin drawing.

NOTES: This drawing dates from the time when Lutyens was producing designs for his New Delhi project.

NOTES: These drawings, presented in 1938 by Caryl Arthur Ransome Barry (BarryÔÇÖs great-grandson), would appear to be those kept by the family to prove Barry's authorship of the design in the dispute between his heirs and those of A. W. N. Pugin. A label, now detached, says this is a "Sketch by Sir Charles Barry in 1844 for a rough model of the throne shewing modifications of detail from the general drawing A. N.B. This is the executed design."

NOTES: This drawing dates from Pugin's second period of collaboration with Barry, from August 1836 to March 1837, during the preparation needed to make a detailed estimate of Barry's revised design of 1836. This drawing almost certainly dates from 1836 because the royal coat of arms on the back of the throne indicates it was made during the reign of William IV. The final design for the elevation of the throne end of the House of Lords (made 8 years later) has few similarities with this scheme.
