the drawings made by him “ for several persons of quality ” 
were published in a volume in 1693. 1 
The designs for the ironwork for all the various gates, etc., at 
Burley-on-the-Hill are supposed to have been supplied by 
Tijou, but they were executed by Joshua Lord, who was either 
his pupil or worked under him. The bill for the gates of the 
entrance to the forecourt, dated 1700, is extant, and runs as 
follows : “ Mr. Joshua Lord by the Iron Gates at the Porter’s 
Lodge.” “ They were supposed to weigh 36 cwts., but when 
bought they weighed 40 cwt. 3 qr. 7 lbs. of iron at 2d. per lb., 
in all £96 17s. 6d.” When the porter’s lodge was pulled down 
by Repton’s advice 2 these gates were left, and they measure 
11 feet 10 inches in height, the central gate being 11 feet 
4 inches wide, and the two bridle-gates 5 feet 7 inches each.
