Abstract (en)

Offers evidence to support the identification of Crosby Ravensworth in Westmorland as Robert Smythson's (previously unknown) place of origin. Notes that several of his patrons had Westmorland connections, and argues that Smythson's work has stylistic affinities with Westmorland architecture.
