Notes
Window widths are here 4 feet 10 inches and (basement and attic) 3 feet 8 inches, which relates this drawing to [SM D5/7/5] though a few details differ. Drawing [SM D5/8/10] has measured dimensions of the ground floor openings of the north front, dated 15 August 1811, which gives the widths as 4 feet 10 inches and suggests that these drawings may be more or less as executed. Drawings [SM D5/7/8], [D5/7/14] and [SM D5/7/15] have window dimensions marked 4 feet 8 inches and 3 feet four inches.
