Notes
The centre of the plan is a circlular chamber with six columns approached by a lobby and that gives on to a rectangular chamber that is 7 feet 3 inches wide. The general site (next to Mr Bourgeois's house) is irregular with a frontage of about 21 feet. The design is close to drawing [3] but does not have top lighting and the rectangular chamber is plain,that is, without the twin apses of drawing [3]. Thus a more economical design.
