Notes
This drawing shows the built design, including the ceiling plan of the coffered oval dome. The sanctuary is a level higher than the nave. It has half-Corinthian columns at four curners, flanking the Ionic screens that support the galleries within the shallow apsidal ends. The ritual east end has a shallow segmental recess between attached Corinthian columns. At the corners, and projecting west (ritual east) are two stairwells; the staircases are omitted in the plan. The section has part of the roof in rough pencil; this part of the drawing is left unfinished.
