Notes

It seems that the elevation is incomplete. Comparison with the pllan (drawings [1] and [2]) suggests that the four storey wing on the right lacks part of a bay and also a corresponding turret. To the left is a (part ?) of the earler castle, eight bays and two storeys high with sixl slender turrets.
