4 Drawings for Christ Church, Worcester College and the Radcliffe Camera, now in those colleges and the Ashmolean Museum respectively, were sold by Joseph Skelton the Oxford antiquary early in the nineteenth century. In each case a priced blue folder inscribed in an early nineteenth-century hand is, or was, with the drawings, and the Christ Church set is known to have been bought from Skelton.
