Notes
This drawing differs hardly at all from an earlier drawing for twin lodges (SM 28/3/4) also by Baldwin, datable to May 1784. The pencil additions of a tree, base mouldings, finials to gate piers and the surprising suggestion for a rectangular hood-mould over a round-arched window within a round-headed blind arch were presumably added by Soane. The plan of the kitchen garden remains 180 feet by 360 feet as in SM 28/3/5 though the larger side is transverse rather than longitudinal and part of the stable court now projects into the garden.
