The Tudor-arched windows have been amended on the drawing to square-headed, and a sculptured coat of arms above the central windows pencilled in. The A, B, C, B, D, B, C, B, A composition of [SM D1/11/25] and [SM D1/11/26] is modified here so that the 12 feet 10½ inches centre (D) is interrupted by blank windows 5 feet wide which were later omitted. The drawing is more finished than [SM D1/11/25] and [SM D1/11/26]; the unexecuted parapet uses a quatrefoil motif and the cappings to the turrets vary.
