Notes

Drawing 29 is a slightly more finished version of drawing 28. Both show the same design that corresponds with the cross section shown on drawing 25, sharing the same clerestory and the large, shallow-arched Strangers' Gallery with stepped seating behind the raised Speaker's Chair and the Table of the House, which is also seen on drawings 19-21 and labelled thus on drawing 23 though differently located.
