The trace lines or setting out lines have not been erased. Soane's Account Book 1781-86 (entry for (?) 30th October 1784 has 'Sanders a Journey making / Sections &c Exp. 3.16.0' and (12 November 1785) '3 Fair Sections of Eat. Room / Drawg ro[om] / Library'.
The new eating room, measuring 36 by 24 feet, has a ceiling, segmental in section and with an elaborately swagged cove, three French windows on one long side and two doors and a chimneypiece on the opposite long side. Of the two short sides one is panelled and the other has a round-headed alcove in the centre and a door to one side. The (light) French grey panelling was relieved by light pink mouldings.
