Note to 325-327: These three drawings relate to Ingestre Hall in Staffordshire, originally built for Sir Walter Chetwynde in the early seventeenth century. The perspective view (326) should be compared with the bird's-eye view given in Robert Plot's Staffordshire (WS 19, pl. 15). 325 was presumably made locally, while 327 includes a proposal made in Wren's office for remodelling the back half of the house. The façade is thirteen bays wide and 156 ft across. The handwriting of the inscriptions is probably that of Hawksmoor (compare 411), who certainly produced the design for a Villa Chetwiniana dated 1688 and today in the Staffordshire County Record Office (Downes 1969, 24–25; Lees-Milne 1970, 16). There are no drawings at All Souls for Ingestre church.
