Notes

This drawing for part of the chamber floor can be compared to an earlier survey (drawing [8]). The new design includes two bedrooms in the right hand side (east) of the house, one of which has two curved partitions screening off a passage and a closet. There are new chimneypieces in two of the rooms and a passage connecting a new corridor with the southern part of the house, which is not shown in the drawing.
