NOTES: In 1846 Wightwick began designing a further building, this time for male patients only. It opened in 1849. Later called Williams House it is now converted into residences. This design is one of a number of drawings bound into five volumes entitled 'Architectural works of George Wightwick', made between 1832 and 1850. Wightwick instructed his articled pupils to make this detailed set of retrospective drawings to illustrate every building of importance he had designed. The drawings were intended to serve both as a record of Wightwick's completed buildings and as a method of conveying to his students the design process from initial working design to finished structure. Design for additions to the Pauper County Lunatic Asylum, Bodmin: plan showing John Foulston's original structure with added elements by George Wightwick.
