Notes
The details in this drawing appear to relate to the perspective of the Court of Exchequer's main (first) floor in SM Vol 48/43. The upper detail shows the stonework at the head of one of the Elizabethan windows in the Court's north wall. The lower shows the capital, head stop, arch and hood mouldings, of one of the thirteenth-century arches in the Court's south wall. The undercutting of the capital's moulding profile is also indicated.
