Notes

The drawing is a freehand survey of a small room with part of it to a larger scale (right-hand side). The dimensions (3:7, 1:8, 6:4, 4¾) ad up to a small space and the label 'Bath' gives its function. The survey plan of the first floor (see drawing [3]) shows Mrs Peters' bed chamber and dressing room (opposite the children's nurseries) with a narrow side room that would be well placed for a bathroom though it does not fit the shape of the room catalogued here.
