The view of Wimpole appears as part of plate LXI (345 x 420mm),p. 872 (114) in the fifth volume with the accompanying caption: 'Wimple in the County of Cambridge, ou Wimple dans le Comte de Cambridge, Maison de Campagne de !res honorable, Lord Robartes, Baron de Truro, Vicomte Bodmyn & Comte de Radnor, Lord Lieutenant, & Custos Rotulorum du Comte de Cornouaille '. Amongst the many categories that Beeverell included in his survey were 'les principales Maisons de Campagne & autres beaux Edifices des Families Illustres, avec leur Armoires, &c.'.
