JAMES PAINE PROVIDED A DESIGN IN 1758 FOR SIR THOMAS CLAVERING. AT THAT TIME A TOP LONDON ARCHITECT MIGHT RARELY OR EVEN NEVER VISIT A SITE HENCE THE IMPORTANCE OF A COMPETENT LOCAL EXECUTANT BUILDER-ARCHITECT (IN THIS CASE JOHN BELL OF DURHAM WHOSE COMPETENCE MIGHT BE IN QUESTION). CLAVERING FANCIED HIMSELF AS AN AMATEUR ARCHITECT AND DECIDED THAT HE COULD IMPROVE UPON PAINE'S DESIGN BELL COULD CLEARLY ONLY DEFER TO HIM AND SO THE FINAL PRODUCT WAS NOT AS PAINE INTENDED A SITUATION HE COMPLAINED ABOUT BITTERLY IN A LATER PUBLICATION OF HIS WORKS.
