Notes

Dance inscribes 'James Carter' on the recto and 'W^m Carter' on the verso of the drawing. A William Carter was apparently a surveyor at Laxton Hall, Northamptonshire while James Carter crops up on several of Dance's jobs and particularly at Stratton Park, and the survey does seem to be in his hand. Perhaps Dance had a moment of absent mindedness when he wrote 'W^m'.
