Hello
This is all wonderful. I’ve been interested in Thomas Wright since the 1980s and I have researched his work at Shugborough.
The picture on the Druids page is not Thomas Wright of Durham but an older person, Thomas Wright, mathematical instrument maker. The two were both working in London st the same time. The older Weight is the one who was a Freemason, not the architect, who does not seem to have been. Wikipedia, though otherwIse accurate, also makes this mistake,
The correct one is here : https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=thomas+wright+of+durham&client=safari&hl=en-gb&prmd=insv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiuvNCT4-TZAhXS-qQKHR4jBF4Q_AUIESgB&biw=768&bih=922#imgrc=YSd1Jbnog1MvuM:
