Notes

A comparison with drawing [13] shows that the best stair has been relocated from the centre of the house to the left-hand side. All else remains the same but see drawing [18] where it has been reinstated. A pencil note ( to this drawing [17]) against Lady Eliot's sitting room states 'Larger' twice and 'May 17 1805 final'.
