Stamped in black ‘CCLXIV – 3’ top left inverted

This small and rapid sketch, made with the book inverted, may be of Bowes Castle, presumably from the south judging by a nearby sketch on folio 4 verso (D25531). With the book turned to the left is a sketch that may be a part of the same castle with an arched window or doorway.
