Notes
Either side of the portico are, to east and west, railings that project 39 feet on the party wall line of the north front and meet another railing, thus forming a forecourt in front of the College entered, here, by three gates.
The ends of the portico are, in this design, guarded by railings on a curved plan. Two prints (see note to [SM D5/13/9]) show that the railing, gates and piers correspond to this design and, allowing for lack of detail, with [SM D5/9/16] and [SM D5/9/15].
