Notes

The plan is incomplete so that, for example, only part of the kitchen is shown. What is shown is a wall that is seven feet high on a half-ellipse plan approached by a gate and a stair that is about six feet high - the difference in level between the 'Level of Passage' and the 'Level of Ground' outside the wall. The 'passage' is presumably a covered way with a single-pitched roof and would be invisible, as would the offices from the outside.
