Notes

Carter's plan shows a room 37 feet 6 inches by 23 feet 7½ inches with three windows facing east and another in the north wall and doors in the west and south walls. Carter's notes on the dimensions of plinth, architrave and pilasters show that these were in place and thus the drawing made when the room was finished or nearly so. National Monuments Record photographs (1951) show that the doorcases and chimney-piece were replaced but the frieze-cornice decorated with rinceau, vase and fruit motifs survived until demolition.
