Notes
None of these three drawings are in Dance's hand or in a Dance office hand. Nor are they in the hand, for instance, of the surveyor Mr Matthews of Ashby de la Zouch (see [SM D1/9/3] and [SM D1/9/1]) or the surveyor and land agent Joseph Hodskinson [SM D1/11/1A]. The proposed work consists of a new roof, the reduction of the chancel by walling off about 7 feet of the eastern end, a re-fitting with new pews, pulpit reading desk and clerk's desk, three new windows and two new doors on the south and north sides - all in a starved carpenter's Gothic style. None of this (if executed) has survived.
