Engineer and engraver Henry Winstanley was Clerk of Works for Audley End and the King's house at Newmarket from 1679; in day-to-day charge of maintenance work undertaken by the Office of Works. He engraved and published a set of 24 plans and views of Audley End, between about 1676 and 1688. The original issue was followed by a smaller sized set of the prints. The plates were later issued for a third time as a supplement to the ‘Britannia illustrata, or, Views of several of the queen's palaces, as also of the principal seats of the nobility and gentry of Great Britain’ by Johannes Kip (c.1653-c.1721).
