Notes
The semi-circular barrel-vaulted nave has almost square panels (measuring 4...10 by 4...6) with alternating motifs employing the anthemion that Dance first used in his Parma competition entry. As executed, the apse's diagonal coffering (derived from the Temple of Venus and Rome) has more coffers than shown on the drawing and the half-patera is larger.
