Notes
The plan for the housekeeper's room accords with drawing [46] and the library plan corresponds with that on drawing [48]. Next to the housekeeper's room, and with the only access, is the 'Still Room' probably a store room for preserves and the like rather than a distillery. Drawing [60] is a design for a brewery.
