Summary
Thomas Allom (Lambeth 1804 - Barnes 1872) and Henry Edward Kendall (1776 - Westminster 1875). South or principal elevation for the conservatory at Wimpole Hall, Cambridgeshire, c.1850, pen, ink and watercolour (512 x 835mm) But for the addition of the Italianate tower at the west end, the carcass of the building was essentially as left by the Reptons' remodelling - the division between the bookroom and the conservatory marked by a change in fenestration and the move from a slate to a glazed roof.
