NOTES: Apparently related to Sir William Chambers' unexecuted project for the Roxborough Castle hunting lodge, Moy, County Tyrone, dated 1768. This drawing is found in an album which was formerly attributed to Sir William Chambers. It contains over 100 theoretical designs, mostly by Edward Stevens but with some by John Yenn and some from the office of William Chambers. Stevens was a pupil of Chambers from 1760 to 1766. The drawings in the album date from between 1762 and 1777.
