Add MS 78629 K

K. `An Actuall Survey of the Lands belonging to Sayes Court in the Parish of Deptford in the County of Kent, being the Estate of John Evelyn Esq: surveyed in the Twelfe year of our Sovereign Lady Queen Ann By John Grove’; [1714?]. Ink and coloured washes. Compass rose (west south west at top). Scale bar: 50 chains: 8 inches [1: 4950]. Showing Sayes Court house and garden in plan, with the outlines of the garden layout in some detail, dockyard boundary (bottom), Woolpicker lane (top), fields (numbered for reference to a separate key), named roads and pathways, river Thames and buildings on the frontage and elsewhere. The layout of Sayes Court garden as shown here differs from that shown in Add. MS 78628 B above and the maps at K. Top XVIII.17.2, 3 cited there, in that the hemispherical bowling-green appears to have been replaced with rows of trees. The map has three insets each with different compass orientation, one a street of tenements (south at top), the second adjacent to the Ravensbourne river (east at top), the third headed `The Mill & Meadowes with Dog Lane field and slowes [i.e. sluice?] Field’ (south south east at top). With a separate key on paper in a later hand, of which that in the hand of Sir John Evelyn in Add. MS 78616 above is a slightly differing version.
