Additional information
A similar drawing to that at Maps K.Top.23.27.b. exists at All Souls College, Oxford. See Anthony Geraghty 'The Architectural Drawings of Sir Christopher Wren at All Souls College, Oxford: A Complete Catalogue' (2007) no 117. The drawings are similar in all respects except that the tower section is cut in half in the All Souls version. The All Souls drawing was probably the basis for the engraving by Henry Hulsbergh (1726) at Maps.K.Top.23.27.a.
