Notes

The relevant measurements, taken on 15 August 1811 from executed work, are for the north wall and its openings (4 feet 10 inches wide), revealing some very minor discrepancies.

Robert Wright was the master carpenter and joiner for both building contracts for the Royal College of Surgeons and his name appears in the Accounts from November 1807. In the second contract, Carter & Co. are also listed as carpenters.
