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 - 23). This drawing proposes octagonal corner towers, in place of the curved corners of the built scheme. Such a plan implies that a Gothic, rather than Palladian, elevation was intended.
