Notes

Lady Stanley's dressing room, and the adjacent bedchamber were decorated en suite in the Etruscan style. The curtain cornices for both rooms are illustrated in the second volume of The works in architecture of Robert and James Adam (part 1, plate 8), and correspond with Adam's drawing. The curtain cornices are not known to have survived when the house was demolished in 1862.
