This drawing records the form of the lantern light over the Court room in its final form (compare SM 53/3/1 - 2). Also recorded is the chimneystack for fireplaces within the rooms of the linking range between Westminster Hall and the Court of King's Bench; the stack in question being concealed from New Palace Yard behind the crenelles of the parapet.
