Notes
These working drawings for the principal floor ([SM D1/1/27], [SM D1/1/39] and [SM D1/1/38]) all show the east wing with two rooms (the drawing room and library) and not the three rooms of the earlier scheme. Westwards there is an almost square breakfast room on the south front with, behind it, the Hall of Communication. In this signed and dated drawing, the west wall of the breakfast room has the swept corners shown on [SM D1/1/39] while the alcoves of the Hall of Communication have been realigned and are now set at an angle.
