Notes
Either side of the portico (with its semicircular plan) is a projecting pedimented bay with a tall, arched recess housing a window framed by a pediment and Ionic columns. The two storey, five bay flank wall is plain except for tall, arched recesses at each end. A comparison with the plan (drawing [21]) shows the semicircular porch but not the pairs of Ionic columms on each side.
