Summary
Thomas Allom (Lambeth 1804 - Barnes 1872) and Henry Edward Kendall (1776 - Westminster 1875). Long section of the conservatory at Wimpole Hall, Cambridgeshire, running east to west, c.1850, pen, ink and watercolour (512 x 834mm). This long section suggests how light the conservatory must have been. It appears that the intention, at least, was that the roof of the tower should be glazed too.
