St. Peter's Convent, Woking: Elevations and sections for the new wings; verso: St. Peter's Convent, Woking: Sectional elevation and sketch plans

1934

- This drawing shows five elevations and sections for the convent dormitories at St. Peter's Home, Woking. Four of these drawings appear to have been traced onto DR1989:0015:084. The verso is probably a cross-section and elevation for the dormitories, with a plan for a gateway or doorway at the u.l. The blue lines at the b. are probably sections of the grounds, corresponding to the sections in blue pencil on the site plans, DR1989:0015:072, DR1989:0015:074, and DR1989:0015:076.
- This work is part of a group of drawings and reprographic prints of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Woking, and St. Peter's Convent, Woking, from the offices of John Loughborough Pearson and Frank Loughborough Pearson (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:085 R/V). Composed of contract and working drawings including plans, site plans, sections, and elevations dated between 1881 and 1936, these drawings were sold at auction by the convent along with those for the older institution of St. Peter's Home, Kilburn (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:010). Both St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, and St. Peter's Home, Woking were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and a lay nursing order which ran it. The institution at Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882 and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255, and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.
