It was Bailey who re-used some of Dance's unused drawing sheets and occasionally (very incomplete and unidentified) drawings as cover sheets. Exceptionally, Bailey (as in this case) cut up a few of the most finished drawings and stuck them on to the blank versions of re-cycled drawing sheets. Those for Ashburnham are catalogued [SM D2/5/1A], [SM D2/1/1], [SM D2/4/1], [SM D2/3/1A] and [SM D2/6/?].
