Notes

The eating room (as marked on drawing [5]) was the back room of the ground floor conveniently served by the large kitchen in the basement via the back stair. The plan catalogued here differs from [5 ] so that the fireplace and the back door to downstairs are on the right-hand side rather than the left-hand side. The room is square, that is about 18 feet by 18 feet while the Eating Room shown on [5] measures 17' 6" by 19' 9" .
