Notes
At some stage after work had begun in 1830 it was decided to replace the servants' hall with a footman's pantry. No information about this room is therefore to be found in the Specification (drawing 56). The design on drawing 116 corresponds to alterations made in pencil to drawing 59. A second copy of the design for the footman's pantry is inexplicably to be found amongst the drawings for the Gloucester branch bank, (q.v. Gloucester branch bank, drawing 15).
