A ground plan of 1827 for the Duke of York monument (SM, Drawer 47, Set 3, Item 26) is even inserted by mistake among the Tyringham drawings. Richardson’s water-colours, mostly prepared with Soane’s book in mind, clarify the various stages the scheme went through. Apart from the initial round or trefoil chapel, the drawings illustrate two versions of a tholos (one slightly cheaper to built than the next) also destined for a site near the Horse Guards. A Richardson perspective similar to 3306:34 is the only drawing inserted in the Windsor Royal Library’s presentation copy of the Designs for Public and Private Buildings, 1828; another almost identical view was presented by him to the RIBA in 1838.  An entirely different solution called for a triumphal arch affair placed on the other side of the same building facing out on to Whitehall (see also SM, Drawer 64, Set 4). These two designs would date from 1829 when Soane, spurred by the knowledge that monuments were to be built commemorating Trafalgar and Waterloo, tried to incorporate those battles into the monument to the Commander-in-Chief. To this end he exhibited the tholos at the RA in 1831, having shown the other version three years earlier. Nothing came of any of these projects. They make a contrast with the more straightforward Duke of York and Nelson columns that eventually punctuated the London skyline at Carlton House Terrace and Trafalgar Square.\r\n","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[{"text":"Soane, John (Sir)","id":"N2369"}],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["3306:33"],"accessionNumberNum":"3306","accessionNumberPrefix":"","accessionYear":null,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-23","recordCreationDate":"2009-06-30","availableToBook":false}}
