Notes

A comparison with plans for the basement made in June 1804 ([12]-[16] shows that while the form of the extension has changed very little, the room labels have so that, for example, the kitchen is not shown at all. Later, kitchen and scullery were added as a single storey addition on the west side - see drawings [49] and [56]).
