Notes
These sketches appear to be preliminary drawings for planning level changes and a clerestory rooflight beneath a flying buttress of Westminster Hall. They show the Public Corridor immediately adjacent to the Hall's west wall. An elevation of the buttress's post-mediaeval coping and the demi-grotesque corbel carrying the arch are also given.
