About this work

Description

Plan is by ESR [Edwin Swan Rickman]. Plan shows block plan, grounds and gives a key to parts of the buildings and grounds. The plan, which was heavily varnished, has been damaged and repaired; the key is faint but readable. It was agreed by the Committee in June 1841 that a plan should be made of the Estate and Samuel Tuke was directed to obtain one; but in the November it was decided not to proceed further in obtaining a plan of the Estate - perhaps because this one, by Rickman, was deemed sufficient. Edwin Swan Rickman had a series of admissions to the Retreat from the 1820s onwards. He was an accountant but also was trained as an architect - his brother was the architect Thomas Rickman.
