Designs for chimneypieces in the drawing room of a house (probably Lismore, Cross Street), Helston, for Glynn Grylls Esq., and in the drawing room of a house, Porthgwidden, for John Phillpotts Esq.: plans, elevations and details

NOTES: The design for Helston was probably produced in the 1830s when Wightwick was producing work there, including the monumental arch in memory of Humphry Millet Grylls (the brother of Glynn Grylls). 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.
