Notes
It is unclear where the scrolled bracket would be placed within the church, as there is no indication either from the drawing or from the internal views and sections. The only possible suggestion may be for the console-hood moulding around the door of the principal western entrace see (SM 47/5/5, 57, 60, 62,63, and SM 59/10/5)
