Notes
On plan, (cf. [SM D1/10/23]) the west (entrance) elevation is not quite symmetrical for at the northwest corner a buttress is omitted and there is a link 10 feet wide by 43 feet 6 inches deep between the house and service wing, so that the north front to the house consists of the return wall to the library (which faces east) and the room above it - both with single square-headed windows below deep labels. The section, has, for example, the large water tank in the cellars shown on [D1/10/17], the secondary staircase from the cellars to the corridor to Beaumont's painting room, and the subsidiary stair to Beaumont's bathrooms; and the lantern to the main stair is shown in elevation in front of the Polygon Hall lantern.
