- This plan of the chapel crypt of Saint Peter's Home, Woking has been signed by agents for two different contracting firms: Luscombe & Son of Exeter (Quiney 1979, 284) and E. Abley & Co. of Salisbury (Quiney 1979, 242). The plan is colour-coded, with yellow signifying masonry and red signifying brick-reinforced cement. Three sections for the chapel crypt, DR1989:0015:038 - DR1989:0015:040, correspond to the section lines of this drawing and are similar in size, format, and colour-coding. - 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.
