Notes
This drawing and SM 67/1/12 show the courtyard and external elevations of the west side of the Stables. This drawing (the courtyard elevation) clearly indicates two large-arched, double-doored coach houses. Both elevations show attic accommodation above, with three simple arched windows on each side (where the grooms' men, coachmen and other staff would presumably have slept). Surmounting the roof is a tall chimney flanked by two panel piers crowned by miniature canopy domes.
