Full description
Henry Edward Kendall (here attributed). Elevation for the entrance front of a stable block at Wimpole, Cambridgeshire, before 1851, pencil and watercolour (299 x 547mm), watermark: J.WHATMAN TURKEY MILL Although related to two other sketches (NT 206255.3 and NT 206253) for the stables at Wimpole, might this scheme, the blind arches replaced with archaic transomed and mullioned windows, mark a transition of designer from Liddell to Kendall? Clearly of courtyard plan, the opposite range can be seen through the entranceway. In the frieze Kendall has indicated a relief sculpture of a group of horses.
