Notes
The square-headed windows and deep labels of [SM D1/11/23] are incorporated here. Dance adds a pierced quatrefoil parapet resembling jali work (Indian pierced screen) that was not executed (See Dance's note, [SM D1/11/24]) The turret finials, which have been elongated and made more Indian, are closer to their final form. For a discussion of Dance's use of Indian elements see the note on the Guildhall, London.
