Notes

The grey marble chimney-piece is plain in its design, with a patera on a tablet in the centre of the lintel which is supported on jambs with panelled pilasters and with a small scallop decorating each of the top inner corners. The opening is marked 4 feet wide and 3 feet 5 inches high, the shelf is marked 6 feet 8 inches wide. Located in the centre of the curved west side of the breakfast room, Dance's chimney-piece was replaced in a later scheme of decoration (National Monuments Record photographs 1951).
