Notes
Sent by post to the Duke of Leeds, the plan is symmetrical with an entrance porch balanced by the same-sized but windowless projection, on the other side. Internally the overall space is 14 feet by 21 feet 5. A note specifies that windows marked 'a' were to be 'blanked up afterwards'; these were four windows on the right-hand side of the lodge.
