Notes
'Putteridge' does not appear in a gazeteer. On the drawing it reads as 'Putteridge Bury'
It was quite often the case for Soane to be asked to design alterations and additions for an existing house. For general convenience it might be suggested that a suitable local man be asked to make survey drawings rather than send some one from Soane's office.
