Notes

Though stylistically different, this is related to [SM D2/1/12], [SM D2/3/16] and [SM D2/3/9]. It is likely that this was the executed design since there is a full-size detail corresponding to this drawing ([SM D2/2/9]) as well as an internal working drawing and full-size detail that also correspond ([SM D2/3/13] and [SM D2/3/31]) and a photograph of the north front (National Monuments Record, 1953) suggests that, despite its 1853 recladding, something very like this design was built.
