Notes
Sepia wash indicates part of an existing range to the east, blue wash delineates a slightly reduced plan, while red indicates a larger one. The west wing with its three reception rooms (outlined in red) is almost as executed but the western part of the stair is drawn on axis with the north entrance and not on an east/west axis as built. The music room between the drawing room and the library has a chimney-piece roughed in in front of a large window. In [SM D3/9/5] this is more fully drawn out and labelled chimney; Dance refers to this feature in his letter to Lord Londonderry ([SM D3/9/1a]).
For a chimney-piece with a window above it see unidentified designs for chimney-pieces, [SM D1/15/2].
