Notes
This study for the internal the end walls of the Chapel is related to [12/10] and annotated in the same hand. The main ink drawing shows the relationship between the wall masses at main-floor level and basement level. The elevation of the east wall in the upper half of the sheet shows the columns and arched frame of the chancel wall in their built positions. Above is a pencilled plan of the chancel recess approached by five steps, although only three were built. To the left of this plan is a study for the impost of the arch. The part-plan at the bottom of the sheet shows the internal west wall, with paired columns framing the entrance at right-angles to the wall, as in the plan [12/10], but without the three steps between the columns on that drawing.
