Notes

Drawing 16 verso is an unfinished ground floor plan with the plan for a three-quarters oval room superimposed on Mr Thornton's room and the room behind it. This verso drawing is close to a survey drawing of 1808 (drawing 39) but without the proposed breakfast room. Drawing 16 recto shows the two-storey plus dormer windowed attic, three-bay west front with the addition of a bow front for the proposed breakfast room.
