Notes

This is one of a series of four variants for reinstating the accommodation lost by the 1824 Select Committee (see SM 53/3/21 - 24). This drawing proposes diagonal corner towers with angle buttresses, in place of the curved corners of the built scheme. Such a plan might imply a Gothic, rather than Palladian, elevation was intended.
