Notes
The drawing (which corresponds to [SM D3/7/16]) shows a plain chimney-piece decorated by pendants within a panel carved on the jambs. The 'Or Molu' was used for the rosettes in the pendants as well as the dentils supporting the mantelshelf. National Monuments Record photographs (1951) show a different, later chimney-piece.
