The design is undated, but forms part of a project begun in 1870. The sheet consists of a plan of the church showing the arrangement of the gas lighting fixtures. Areas of the church are labelled and the fixtures are numbered. There is a long note on the right side of the drawing with specifications for the materials and construction.  Cobham Church is the church of Saint Andrew, parts of which Webb was commissioned to restore in the early 1870s.\r\nPhilip Speakman Webb (Oxford, 1831-Sussex, 1915) was a prominent British architect who designed numerous buildings throughout Great Britain. Known for his contributions to British vernacular architecture, Webb was also a skilled draughtsman, and designer of tableware, tiles, stained glass, and furniture. He also designed gravestones and memorials for his friends and clients. Webb lent his hand to many collaborative projects and worked closely with his colleagues, namely William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Edward Burne Jones. His precise drawings of animals, particularly birds, frequently adorn tiles, stained glass, textiles, and wallpaper produced by Morris and Co. Webb is best known for designing Morris’ Red House in Bexleyheath, as well as Clouds House, Naworth Castle, and several London town houses. Among his other accomplishments, Webb is attributed with laying the groundwork for the Arts and Crafts and Modern movements, establishing longstanding principles in historic preservation, and creating some of the most influential designs still studied and celebrated today.\r\n","physicalDescription":"This is a design drawing in pen and wash on tracing paper by Philip Webb.
