Notes
The calculations on the verso were made after January 1807 and relate to timber supplied for a job involving the offices, stables and appendages of a country house - probably Stratton Park. The other set of calculations seems to be for fees owing to Dance for five jobs: Micheldever Church, the London Road twin lodges and the Winchester Road lodge to Stratton Park and, all for Sir Francis Baring; Kersley's Compting House, which must have been in the City of London and a minor job costing only £142.82; and the intriguing 'grape house' which, if Dance was charging his usual 5 per cent, would have cost about £774.
