Scope & content
Coloured engraved plate depicting designs for a 'peach house, green house & pinery'. Includes three sections, with a scale bar underneath labelled 'Scale for Sections', an elevation and a plan also with a scale bar underneath. Described in the book as having the 'green-house …. in the centre, and is two feet wider than the pinery and peachery which join it'. The Dymoke family have held the honorary office of The King's or Queen's Champion for many centuries. The original role of the champion was to challenge anyone at the coronation who contested the new monarch's claim to the throne. It is now a ceremonial role. The book plate bears the imprints 'Section of Peach House', 'Section of GreenHouse', Section of Pinery', 'Elevation', 'Plan' and 'London, Published Septr.1.1806, by J. Taylor 59 High Holborn'. From the book 'Plans, elevations and sections, of hot-houses' by George Tod
