Notes

In this drawing, yellow wash denotes new carpentry - sepia wash is used for the existing beams. The partitions shown in this drawing partly relate to the alterations suggested in drawing [31]. The beams in the front rooms at the centre of the house suggest that this was once a single room. These partitions relate to the design in drawing [38].
