Notes
SM 28/2/8 has two poorly drawn attic windows added, SM 28/2/9 has three, SM 28/2/11 has three with the outside ones cancelled and this drawing has the rough pencil outline of two windows. These plain elevations were perhaps made for the builder so that he could estimate the quantity of bricks required. The Suffolk white bricks were made on the Tendring estate.
