This drawing and the one of the dairy for Lady Craven [3306:1061] are very similar in design and suggests that they were drawn around the same time and by George Dance. It is possible that both drawings were created for Lady Craven and then re-used for the Hammels Park dairy. An entry in Soane's notebook on 27 January 1783, confirms Dance's involvement in the design, noting  that he was 'With Mr D[ance] draw[in]g the dairy'.\n\nThis drawing was pasted into a copy of Sir John Soane's book <i>Designs for Public and Private Buildings</i> owned by Soane's assistant Charles James Richardson. Richardson built up a large collection of originals and copies (many of which he executed himself) of his master's designs, and distributed the bulk of them into two folio volumes, interspersed with the printed pages of the book. These volumes were bought by the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) in 1863.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"A pair of ground plans and the elevation of the entrance facade for the thatched dairy built for Philip Yorke, by Sir John Soane and George Dance the younger, 1783.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"du Prey, P. de la Ruffinière. <u>Sir John Soane: Catalogues of Architectural Drawings in the Victoria and Albert Museum</u>, London, 1985, p.46, cat.77."},{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Soane, J. <u>Plans, Elevations, and Sections of Buildings Erected in the Counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Hertfordshire, etc.</u>, 1788, pl.44"},{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Summerson, J. <u>Sir John Soane</u>, 1952, p.33"},{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Kenwood, Iveagh Bequest. <u>Sir John Soane.
