Design for the interior of the entrance hall
Notes
Soane's drawing of the entrance hall includes the porte-cochère in the design, although this part of the drawing has been left unfinished. The existing building today has a porte-cochère, much like drawing 138.
The cross section in drawing 141 is actually two sections, showing, to the left, a half-section through the centre of the hall and, to the right, a half-section nearer the front of the hall.
Coloured wash is included to show the stained glass in the round-headed windows on either side of the hall. The window has a pattern of coloured glass surrounded by a Greek fret pattern.
