Description

1457 drawings, dating from between the nineteenth century and 2000, with most dating from the 1980s and 1990s. The majority of the drawings relate to proposed consolidation, access and presentation work undertaken under the custodianship of the Department of the Environment and English Heritage from the 1970s, with a number of sheets concerned with window repairs and reconstruction of the walls and central tower. Many sheets also appear in annotated or revised copies as work on the castle's reconstruction progressed.

There are surveys and topographic surveys of the estate made between 1985 and 1987. Dating from 1986 to 1987 are proposals for works to the castle, grounds and estate office to the south-east (formerly the stable block to the castle), including planting, a new car-park and a visitor centre.

There are some sketch elevations, outline plans and sheets relating to conjectural reconstruction of the castle's historic layout. There are several photogrammetric surveys of the castle, dating from 1978 to 1992. Other sets of drawings show guttering and drainage, electrical services, landscaping proposals (notably for the Rose Garden), or relate to relocation of the memorial gate and works compounds and the layout of estate roads.

Some drawings were prepared as part of a tendering submission by main contractor Gilmore Hankey Kirke Ltd, who also produced a spiral-bound booklet of copies of plans and elevations entitled 'Visual index of architectural drawings used in the consolidation, repair and restoration of Lulworth Castle, 1982-1997', which is also included.
