Notes

As well as the new work shown on [SM D2/1/36], an imperial stair behind the Great Hall is shown and polygonal turrets have been added to the outside as well as a porte-cochere. The offices are shown more fully than before: on the south side, to the rear of the house, is a long range of buildings, virtually detached from the house, that finishes at the west end with a washouse. Washed in pink are further offices attached to the existing kitchen around a courtyard. North and west further offices including a brewhouse are outlined in pen.
