Professorships[edit]

My sources are primarily this and this, and they disagree as to the Professorship imbued upon Soane; the former says Architecture in 1809 (which seems most plausable), the latter, Sculpture, in 1806. Although it is possible that they are both true (and that Soane held both posts) I've left out that of Sculpture whilst looking for another source (id est, this line:

He was made Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy in 1809, which he held until death.

... from the third paragraph was previously:

He was made Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy in 1806 and Professor of Architecture in 1809, which he held until death.

... and can be semantically reverted if necessary). I'll do some more research into this to find out whether one, the other, or both of the sources are correct. This is just a note in case I die or somesuch fate befalls me ;-).

Little Thurlow Grammar School[edit]

The painting shown above, by Augustus Hare (1834-1903) is titled Little Thurlow – Grammar School of Sir John Soane, and yet there is no mention of Little Thurlow, or a grammar school, in the article. Can anyone elaborate, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:27, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that this might actually refer to Sir S. Soame ([1]). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:05, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
