Notes
The plan is of a rectangular hall, marked 37 feet 10½ inches wide, with a glazed screen at the north end, ten feet wide, flanked by skewed alcoves. Five doors open off the hall: two east doors (to the library and drawing room) and two west doors (to the dining room and corridor / gallery) arranged on axes and a south door (to the breakfast room); a shallow barrel-vaulted ceiling is indicated. In C. R. Cockerell's 'Ichnographia Domestica' (see the general notes), the north end of the hall is labelled 'Billiards'.
