Notes

The plan and elevation do not correspond since the elevation has been revised. The design shares many of the same details as [SM D2/1/38], [SM D2/1/9] and [SM D2/1/8] but, for instance, the centre turret has been erased and there is now a pedimented door flanked on either side by a three-part window. It is as if this part of Ashburnham Place has been converted into a double-fronted shop.
