Notes

'Mr Branthwayt' was the owner of Taverham Hall, Norfolk (q.v.), a house that Soane was altering and adding to at this time. The profile of the base and surbase mouldings were presumably copied from drawing 12 (q.v.).

SM volume 41/61 verso, SM volume 41/62 recto, SM volume 41/62 verso, SM volume 41/63 recto, SM volume 41/63 verso and SM volume 41/64 recto are all record copies of designs for which the original drawings have mosty not survived.
