Notes
The communion rail has pointed arch heads below the top rail. Sir George Beaumont's lion appears on the roof of the porte-cochere at Coleorton Hall designed for him by Dance, 1804-08 ([SM D1/14/1], [SM D1/14/3], [SM D1/14/6] and [SM D1/12/28]). It varies from the conventional heraldic attitude by holding its tail horizontally outwards instead of over its back. The reference to the 'new road 4 or 5 doors to the east of Tottenham Court Road' is probably to Alfred Place, London, laid out by Dance in 1803.
