Notes
Amendments shown on [SM D1/10/24] are drawn in here, including six alcoves that are semicircular on plan; as executed, there are four five-sided alcoves on the gallery of the Polygon Hall. The number of principal beams has been reduced. Two of the bedroom flues emerge through chimneys on either side of the roof ridge - they were too distant to be accommodated in a turret.
