Notes

The quarter plan is for a room of about 12 feet by 13 feet 6 inches that may have been a dining room, or so the decorative motifs associated with wine suggest.Much of the drawing was made with straight edge and compass, and is stuck recto side down on the album page with some re-tracing on the verso. 'Does not relate to any existing work' at Claremont (letter from Howard Farrar, Claremont Fan Court School, 23 July 2007).
