Notes
This design for one of the bays of the new entrance front corresponds to Soane's Classical designs (SM volume 61/114 and 71/2/78). The bay shown in this drawing is of three storeys. The ground floor has banded rustication and an entrance with lampposts on either side and a swag above. Above this is a pair of fluted Corinthian columns that are set back and three-quarters engaged. The balustrade is ornamented with antefixes and statues.
