Description

A stone-by-stone hand-drawn survey at 1:20 of St Peter's Chapel for a University of London Institute of Archaeology thesis. 1 x 2 m frames, divided into twenty centimetre squares were used to draw the chapel, against a datum-line at a height of 6.4m above sea level. Each side of the building was divided into 1 m vertical sections along the datum-line. The frames were then placed against the chapel, level with the datum-line, and were gradually moved along the walls. To draw the upper sections of the North, East and South walls, and the West wall below the gable, a scaffolding tower with two platforms was used.
