Notes

The original of this drawing no longer exists. The amendments to Soane's plan (SM 45/1/16) of 1777 are not shown on this record drawing (presumably made by an unidentified pupil) on paper watermarked 1794, and that was presumably made before 1799 when Gandy made the perspectives that follow (SM volume 60/205, SM volume 60/206 and SM P271), drawn on a different type of paper but also watermarked 1794.
