Notes

The buttresses are only partly drawn and the purpose of the elevation seems to be the detailing of the frieze so that it may be an amendment of [SM D2/4/5] - the 'selected design'.

See [SM D2/4/15] verso for full-size details of the lozenge and quatrefoil motif that consists of four circles arranged around a square foliated centre.
