Turner was engaged by Malden, later Earl of Essex, to make views of Essex’s Hertfordshire house, Cassiobury, and later in this decade was commissioned to make a further set of views of Hampton Court by Richard Colt Hoare of Stourhead; see the Hereford Court sketchbook (Tate; Turner Bequest XXXVIII).
