4 pages, folio, 1 page, 4to, quotation for Mr Locke "To build and finish the Mansion House at Norbury Park" and 3 pen and wash drawings for Norbury Park [Basement, Principal Story, Bedchamber Story], 24 x 19cm., the 4to leaf headed "Evans estimates", 28 March 1774, one drawing with slight loss
Footnote
Note: The fine existing mansion of Norbury Park was designed and built by Thomas Sandby in 1774, so it would appear that the design and quotation by Evans, of £6826 was rejected by William Locke (1732-1810), collector, connoisseur and patron.
