Notes
In this drawing, the battlements have been erased and redrawn with more crenelles and the corner turrets project above them with crenelated caps. The secondary windows of the principal floor have been drawn and washed in with only loose penwork, as have the corners, suggesting the final form of these components had not been set upon. The linking range derives its elevation directly from Westminster Hall, with traceried openings set within the ground-floor niches.
