____________________
The design was later (1888) used for
THE COTTAGE.
Station Road,
Bishop's Itchington, near Warwick.
For Michael H. Lakin.
The Cottage is Voysey's first completed building.
Lakin wanted a similar design.
There are two design versions, with and
without half-timbering.
The version without half-timbering was chosen and
the design for an unexecuted cottage had been altered.
