How come that this 1769 drawing by Borlase does not show the facade as it is now in the photo below, albeit from a different angle?

More to say but let's deal with this first :-)



Artistic license ? A mistake ? Someone moved the stones around ?
Is there evidence to show he actually visited the site ?


This one is more (only just) like the same angle as Borlases and again completely different.

The 'artistic licence', if true, would concern me as what else could be wrong?
