Notes
Baldwin seems to have re-used Soane's discarded drawing (the verso). The incomplete set of elevations was made before the set of four drawings (SM 28/2/8, SM 28/2/9, SM 28/2/11 and SM 28/2/10) made by Sanders. Evidenced by the 'omitted' windows of the basement, marked thus on this drawing and not shown on SM 28/2/9. More interestingly, the first floor windows of the garden bow were made taller in Sander's SM 28/2/9 where they are marked 9'0"while they measure 7 feet on Baldwin's drawing. Soane had wanted all the first floor windows to be the same height but Admiral Rowley (or more likely Mrs Rowley for it was her room) wanted them made taller.
