Notes
This design is very similar to the rough one added by Soane to drawing [14] but the corners of the central block are not canted. Alterations to the interior of the west range include a new Butler's Room, Butler's Working Room and Pantry, and a new chimneypiece in the Housekeeper's Room. For the sake of privacy, two windows in the west wall of Mr Thornton's Room have been blocked up.
