Notes
Drawing 9 shows the whole of the irregular site, which measures approximately 154 feet at its widest and 69 feet from front to back. Banking areas are coloured with pink wash, as opposed to domestic areas which are colourless. The drawing also shows in pencil alterations to the site, principally concerned with the stable yard to the west of the existing buildings.
