| 7 | See a letter from Benjamin Henry Latrobe, one of S. P. Cockerell's pupils, to J. C. Williams of Baltimore, Pittsburgh, 3 April, 1814, in which Latrobe claimed that for a good set of architectural drawings Cockerell charged 50 guineas, "for each Consultation half a giunea , from 5 Guineas to 20 Guineas a day for the going into the country to view the grounds and personally direct the work, and 5 per cent commission on all the monies expended." Talbot Hamilton, Bejamin Henry Latrobe (New York, 1955), p.383. |

| 9 | There is a curious connection here between Paxton and the previous owners of the estate, the Myddleton family after whom it was named. David Myddleton, who lived here in the sixteenth century, was brother to Sir Hugh Myddleton, projector of the New River in London, in 1613, and to Sir Thomas Myddleton, Lord Mayor of London and a member of the East India Company. |
