Tatham (Charles Heathcote, 1772-1842). The New Entrance to the Park at Stoke in Herefordshire, designed for the late Hon: Edwd: Foley, 1809, watercolour over pencil, with black ink, signed and dated lower right, some minor surface marks, creased to upper right and lower right corners, laid down on old backing card, sheet size 33.7 x 56 cm (13.3 x 22 ins) (Qty: 1)The architect Charles Heathcote Tatham was born in Westminster and at the age of 16 was employed by the architect and surveyor Samuel Pepys Cockerell, before being adopted by Henry Holland, architect to the Prince of Wales who sent him to study in Italy in 1794. Some of the many drawings he made of classical architecture and ornament were published in Etchings of Ancient Ornamental Architecture Drawn from the Originals in Rome and Other Parts of Italy, first issued by Thomas Gardiner in 1799, with second and third editions in 1803 and 1810. After his return to England in 1796, he was commissioned by the MP Edward Foley to design an interior cottage and park gate at Stoke Edith in Herefordshire. Tatham also designed interiors for the Earl of Carlisle at Castle Howard, for the Duke of Bedford at Woburn, and elsewhere. According to John Linnell, who met Tatum at the Keppel Street Baptist church in 1811, He was 'naturally a proud man which appeared unhappily the case in the latter part of his career, for had he but been wise enough to accept commissions for works of inferior size he might have been fully employed, but he stood out for large jobs from the titled great and would not undertake jobs from builders', with the result that he was obliged to abandon his Mayfair home for Alpha Cottage, Alpha Road in Marylebone (where Linnell, Blake, Haydon and Palmer were visitors). The present work appears to represent a proposed new design for the Park Gate at Stoke Edith. Tatham's son Frederick was part of the artistic group The Ancients, centred around Samuel Palmer, and an important follower and supporter of William Blake, while his daughter Julia eloped with the painter George Richmond (with the financial assistance of Samuel Palmer).
