Notes

The plan (washed in pink) shows Combe Bank without the post-Roger Morris additions and also without his north stair tower shown in Vitruvius Britannicus (IV, pl.75). This is because Dance has removed it and put a three-bay extension between the corner towers that he matches on the south side with another; over the projecting Great Hall on the west side Dance has added a first floor. Two stairs are placed in the centre of the building; 11 beds are drawn in to indicate 11 bedrooms and there is one water closet.
