John Spurling the Younger, surveyor of this attractive plan of an estate at Stonham Aspal, near Stowmarket, worked from Grundisburgh, north east of Ipswich [Bendall S428]. All his work is recorded as being of Suffolk and dating, until the discovery of the present plan, between 1775 and 1777; with four examples in the Suffolk Record Office (two at Ipswich and two at Lowestoft) and one in the British Library. Included in the lot is a plan of the Pilmoor Estate near Croft, 1828 (torn), a plan on vellum of property near Derby, and other material. See illustration on proceding page.
