Designs for Eastwell Park, Eastwell, for George Finch Hatton Esq.: ground floor plan and north and south elevations

RIBA95921
Bonomi, Joseph (1739-1808)
NOTES: The design for the entrance front of Eastwell House shows a porte-cochere supported by five Ionic columns mounted on a low plinth. This does not appear to have been executed and photographs of the house show the entrance in the form of a giant arch flanked by columns. The house was built on sloping ground and the garden front was raised upon a plinth with extraordinary link passages which led down to pavilions on either side containing offices and a greenhouse respectively. Bonomi's design was published by George Richardson in 'The New Vitruvius Britannicus' (London, 1802-1808), vol. I, pl. XXXIX-XLII, which gives a description of the house and its curious planning. This is the original drawing from which the engraved plan and entrance elevations are taken. This drawing was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 1794 (no. 618).

Designs for a 'Nobleman's Country Seat': elevations of entrance and garden fronts and longitudinal section

RIBA96053
Bonomi, Joseph (1739-1808)
NOTES: This theoretical project is the grandest of all Bonomi's designs for a country house and is ancestor to his schemes for Rosneath and Lambton Hall. His 'Nobleman's Country Seat' was designed, and his drawings exhibited, as a means by which to advertise his abilities to potential patrons. Exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 1785 (no. 569).

Designs for alterations and additions to existing house, Lambton Hall, County Durham: interior perspective of hall, vestibule and staircase

RIBA96097
Bonomi, Joseph (1739-1808)
NOTES: Bonomi's proposals for Lambton Hall constitute perhaps his most ambitious project for a country house. Many features of the design derive from his unexecuted design for 'a nobleman's country seat' which he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1785 (RIBA96052- RIBA96053). He prepared three alternative designs (July 1794, August 1794 and February 1795) for the new Hall but with the death of W. H. Lambton in 1796 schemes for complete rebuilding were abandoned and between 1798 and 1802 Bonomi carried out more modest alterations to the existing house. Bonomi's work, if fully executed, was all swept away by Bonomi's son, Ignatius, during the transformation of Lambton Hall into Lambton Castle in the 1820s.
