Notes
There is no indication in this plan of Soane's work on the new Royal Entrance to the House of Lords, which was by November 1822 at an advanced stage. The Courts had been removed from Westminster Hall in 1820 so that it could accommodate George IV's coronation banquet. This drawing, then, was probably copied from an earlier original.
On the verso is an elevation of four leaded windows, the bottom part of which has been cut off. At the top of the sheet, in pencil, are two rough designs (in plan and in perspective) for a pedimented Ionic portico that is six columns wide and three columns deep.
