Notes
The conservatory flue, marked 1 foot 6 inches wide, runs horizontally above the 'Cellars under Drawing room & Library' on the south side of the house. There are rough drawings ([SM D1/10/19] verso and [SM D1/11/25] verso) that show a conservatory was built by Dance, though a conservatory was added on the east front of the later Picture Gallery in the second half of the 19th century and demolished in the early 1950s (John Crocker, Loughborough, letter, February 2000).
