Among the Collection's precise geometric drawings of little observed features of Westminster Abbey, the Temple Church in London, King's College Chapel in Cambridge and Milan Cathedral are what purport to be the setting-out plans for the original Globe Theatre, the Rose and five other Elizabethan playhouses. The author made these extraordinary documents available to researchers involved in rebuilding the Globe on Bankside, who chose to discount their validity and Joy Hancox's interpretation of them. Since then archaeological excavations at the Globe site have lent support to the accounts in this book. Now that the new theatre is completed, it is already receiving criticism for its size, inadequate acoustics and poor sightlines. As the author reveals in her new Preface to the paperback edition of her book, her own interpretation of the Byrom drawings would result in a smaller structure of only eight sides in which an overall harmony of design comes together to provide good sightlines and good acoustics. Additional evidence is provided in a new book (to be published shortly) by Professor John Gleeson of the University of San Francisco in support of the Globe plans found in the Byrom Collection. Even more remarkable, the concept behind all these architectural designs

John Byrom was born at Kersal Cell, near Manchester, United Kingdom, on the 29th of February 1692, the younger son of a prosperous merchant.
He was educated at Merchant Taylors school, and at Trinity College, Cambridge, of which he became a fellow in 1714.
After leaving the university Byrom went abroad, ostensibly to study medicine, but he never practised and possibly his errand was really political, for he was an adherent of the Pretender.
His first poem, "Colin to Phoebe" a pastoral, appeared in the Spectator, No. 603.
His diary gives interesting portraits and letters of the many great men of his time whom he knew intima tely.
A collection of his poems was published in 1773, and he is included in Alexander Chalmers's English Poets.
The Private Journal and Literary Remains of John Byrom, related by Richard Parkinson, D. D. , was published by the Chetham Society (1854 - 1857).
