Notes
The details of this section, drawn from south to north looking west, are sketchy but the fluted mouldings of the dining room wall arches and the composite pilasters supporting a frieze with garlands, roundels and rinceau decoration in the drawing room can be seen. The ceiling of the ground floor lobby is coffered and a glazed domical lantern lights the short flight of stairs to the drawing room. Room heights are marked as 16 feet for the eating room and 12 feet 2 inches for the drawing room. A cross lobby to the eating room, with a coffered barrel-vaulted ceiling is shown with a half-stair above it, lit by a small, glazed dome giving on to the drawing room.
