Notes
Of Sanderson's house of 1731, with its half-H plan and 15-bay front, the east wing, adjoining rooms and south portico had been demolished leaving only six bays including the southwest pavilion with tripartite window. Dance here proposed a nine-bay front with a new (matching) east wing and a new south portico.
The plan, front elevation and section of Stratton Park were published in J. Woolfe & J. Gandon, Vitruvius Britannicus, IV, 1767, plates 52, 53-4, 55.
