Notes

A comparison with drawing [5] made on 1 November shows that rooms for the servants have been omitted. New, for example, are three bay windows to the back elevation. The angled (presumably existing) lower wall appears in some earlier drawings and most subsequent designs though not in 'Design No.1' ([5].
