Notes
Drawings [1]-[3] are dated 'July 1801', but this was added later. These drawings show an early design for the house, with pencil alterations by Soane suggesting changes to the design that were later approved and executed.
The chamber floor has six bedrooms - the beds are shown as sepia rectangles. The two lines of enfilade meet at the centre of the floor in a small lobby, perhaps with a domed ceiling.
