Hand
There is no entry for Aynho in the Soane office Day Book for 30 December 1800. The hand is not that of Thomas Sword who drew drawing [54].
Notes
Labelled 'No 2' it is assumed that this design (copied on 30 December 1800) was made after drawing [54] (copied on1 Janaury 1801). Both drawings have the entrance on the west side and, oddly, it leads into the library which is flanked by a drawing room on either side. The new offices are simialrly partly detached from the house.
