Notes
The annotations dated 25 October 1822 are in Soane's hand. The Day Books note that he attended the House of Lords on that day with regard to plans of the New Law Courts. There are faint pencil sketches directly above the drawing. The head of the window lighting the Lord Chancellor's Anteroom was changed from a hemicircle to a segmental curve during the drawing process.
