Vanbrugh designed the house at King's Weston for the Honourary Edward Southwell in 1711 but this particular design may date from as late as 1723.

The Album contains 254 drawings and includes works by Sir John Vanbrugh, Sir Edward Lovett Pearce, William Talman, Nicholas Hawksmoor, Richard Castle and anonymous draughtsmen in Vanbrugh's office. It was created ca. 1945-54 and was purchased by Victoria and Albert Museum in 1992.","physicalDescription":"The two storey building has banded rustication around a central archway and the plan shows a staircase in each of the two projections.
