Examples of Gothic architecture : original sketches, 1825-1829.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/83372775

Three volumes of drawings, pasted-in, evidently used in the preparation of Examples of Gothic Architecture... in England... (London, 1831-). The drawings are studies of Gothic architectural details at: Merton, Baillol, New College, All Souls, St. John's, Magdalene and Brasenose, Oxford; churches in London, Oxford, Hertfordshire and Norfolk; the Archbishop's Palace, Croyden; the Manor House, East Barsham; Oxburgh Hall, Thorpland Hall, Norfolk, and other places. While there is some correspondence between the volumes of drawings and the publication, the drawings (many of which are entirely unpublished) are generally larger, far more detailed and heavily annotated with measurements. Those of Pugin's students contributing to the project (some of whom went on to become successful architects in their own right) included Pugin's son, Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, Thomas Talbot Bury, Joseph Nash, Benjamin Ferrey, T.J. Amos, F.T. Dollman, B. (Benjamin R.?) Green and G.B. Wollaston. Nearly all the drawings are record drawings, but one drawing (v. 1 opp. folio 7) appears to be a design study for the clock tower at the Houses of Parliament which varies greatly from the initial designs of Sir Charles Barry.
