Plan of Hengrave Hall as it stood in 1775, 1775

 File
Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Hengrave 27/2

Scope and Contents

Front elevation and ground plan, rooms and spaces named according to a numbered schedule. This shows the Hall before the demolitions and remodelling recorded in Lenny's survey plans of 1824. [2] refers to 'Mr. Kendals prospective elevation', which might relate to the section [1]. If so, the identity of 'Mr. Kendal' has not been established (it was possibly John Kendall (1766-829), a pupil of James Paine, who exhibited architectural designs at the Royal Academy in 1781-84). The drawing is endorsed by Sir Thomas Gage, 8th Baronet (1810-66), that the plan and schedule are in the hand of Sir Thomas Rookwood Gage, 5th Baronet (c.1720-96). The plan formed the basis of the ground plan in Gage's Hengrave, drawn for that publication by Robert Rushbrooke and engraved by J.C. Buckler
