Notes

Presumably Dance's note to Carter refers to payment on account for his survey drawings (see [SM D1/1/13]).

The design is much the same as in [SM D1/1/11] and [SM D1/1/15], except that, for example, an external corner wall enclosing a water closet on the north side is chamfered rather than segmental and the spacing of the hall columns differs.

The window of the southeast projecting bay is three-part to match Sanderson's but the side lights are shown here to be blind.

REPRODUCED. Stroud fig.65c.
