Notes
This plan was by James Carter (using red wax to fix the drawing to his board) with some dimensions by Dance. Its main purpose is to show the stairs and the fixing points for the railings that run from the stairs behind the Ionic screen. The stair has treads 13 inches from back to front and, 6 feet from the front door, there are four steps 11 feet wide; right and left are five return steps 5 feet wide and off a pair of half-landings, return flights of 14 steps 5 feet wide that give on to the gallery on the north side of the entrance hall.
See [SM D1/4/48], [SM D1/4/65] and [SM D1/4/47] for full size details of the wall lining.
