Notes
As Sir Francis Baring directed (on [SM D1/5/4] verso), the new east wing (of the same length and width as the existing west wing) has two reception rooms separated by an anteroom. The new rooms next to the east wing are here a breakfast room, a 'Hall of Communication' and a secondary stair on a semicircular plan. The staircase hall is placed in three of the southeast bays of the old house and fronted by a portico. A portico is shown on the east elevation for the first (and last) time. The Serlian windows of the pavilion ends of the front have an alternative four-part design in dotted outline. There are small adjustments to the west wing including a pencilled minor stair. The drawing is neatly drawn and lettered by an office hand with Dance adding the sections, dimensions and pencil amendments.
