Notes
The sheet has been closely cropped along its left edge, severing the plan halfway through the central block of The Stone Building. It records the site following the clerance of existing structures, which had been completed by 28 September 1822. The exposed buttresses of Westminster Hall are clearly visible, and their is no evidence of preliminary designs for the New Law Courts.
