The main block was afterwards extended considerably in length, the hall was completely re-planned, the quadrants were enlarged and many other details modified.  A block plan of Castle Howard drawn on the back of a drawing for the Charles II building at Greenwich Hospital (E.398-1951) is catalogued under Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor.  Reference is made to E.418-1951 in K. Downes (1959). \r\n\r\nPurchased from the Marquis of Bute at auction at Sotheby's (lot 19.1) on 23 May 1951 by the National Arts Collection Fund and given to the V & A.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Early plan of the ground floor of Castle Howard by Sir John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor; ca. 1699.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Lorimer, C. and Newton, C., <i>The collection of drawings by Sir John Vanbrugh and his circle in the Victoria and Albert Museum</i>, V & A, 1996, p. 14, cat. 9."},{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"L.
