Notes

On a comparison with earlier drawings ([56],[58], [59], [62],[63]) the changes to the eating room (south-east corner of the house) seem to consist of three new doors though these appear to be false (either side of the chimneypiece) or a cupboard (to the right of the existing door). On drawings[59] and [62] the same room is labelled 'Library'.
