Notes

In contrast to an earlier design (drawing [2]) and made nearly a year later, this drawing shows the rectangular chapel with a five-light pointed, traceried window in the gabled south wall that matches the design of drawing [4]. The ceiling of the chapel consists of three groin vaults. The letters A-F refer to sections in drawing [7].
