A view of Lambeth Palace 1790
A drawing first exhibited 1790 and in the footnote - * It was in the Winter Exhibition at Burlington House in 1887, lent by Mrs. Courtauld.
As he names this drawing it should appear in his list. The list of watercolour drawings begins on page 238 (pdf page 582). London - Lambeth Palace is on page 262. Size 10x14.75; provenance: Narraway family, exh Mrs Courtauld 1887, F. Stevenson.

In each of the years 1791, 1792 and 1793
In each of the years 1791, 1792 and 1793 he had been represented by two contributions, one of which, a Bristol view, may possibly have been in oil.

Looking first at 1791 and 1792 we should see Eltham, Sweakley, Malmesbury and Pantheon. I cannot find Eltham (London, King John etc), Sweakey, Uxbridge is also absent. Malmesbury is on page 265. Pantheon is on p270 but it is not the same as the Tate Turner Project watercolour - both size and description are different.

1793 Canterbury Exhibit is on p245 20.5x16 and at the christies sale of 1874 Tite(Redford p180); also exh (Tite) BF AC 1871 & RA 1873. The later 1794 exhibit is also listed.
The 'Bristol' section of Armstrong's list includes the Courtauld Watercolour as 'Old Hotwells House' - this cannot be Turner's title because in 1791 there was no 'New Hotwells House'
View on the Avon and Rising Squall appear to be absent. Rochester (for this period) is also absent. I also looked at Dunstanborough entries but none looked like a mistaken St. Vincent's Rock.
On page 29 Armstrong notes only two entries but of course there were three (RA catalogue)
