Notes
The entablature of the Ionic screen also ran around the other three sides of the entrance enclosing a (later?) compartmented ceiling. As executed, the upper part of the entablature included a dentil course but it is not possible to judge from photocopies of photographs (National Monuments Records, 1951) how other mouldings varied from Dance's details catalogued here and below, though it is likely that the revised design on the verso was carried out. According to C. R. Cockerell, in the note he made of his visit in 1825, the entablature was of bronze and in 'bad taste'.
