NOTES: Charles Matthews, theatre manager and comic actor, died in 1835 and was buried in St Andrew's, Plymouth. Mrs Jago was the widow of the Rev. John Jago, vicar of St Constantine's from 1824 to his death in 1835. 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.
